7. (3 points) Suppose I try to turn “The woman who is singing the national anthem is a very good singer,” into a question by saying “Is the woman who singing the national anthem is a very good singer?” Something has gone wrong here. What?
The correct way to say is------> "Is the women who is singing the national anthem a very good singer?" According to Chomsky one cannot take the first appearance of the auxiliary word. One must look for the auxiliary that comes right after the phrase label as the subject.

(10 points) In phonology, there is a difference between the physical stimulus and speech sounds as people actually perceive them. In color vision, there is a difference between the physical stimulus and colors as people actually perceive them. In each case, what is the nature of the physical stimulus? What do people actually perceive? What is the nature of the variation across cultures in what people perceive and (for color terms) in what terms they use? Include the following in your answer: phonogram, reflectance, phoneme, allophone, distinctive feature, opponent process, implicational universal, basic color …show more content…
The Rods help the human eye to see dark colors such as black and gray. The cones give the human eye the ability to see bright colors. In order for a human being to see all the colors one must have 3 opsins. If they only have to function opsins then they are color blind (Males usually suffer from this problem).However, not all humans recognize or understand the colors the same. The reason why is because one's color changes the why people perceive color. If you were to ask someone who grew up in the United States what is more red, the fire engine red or Scarlet Macaws, then there is a probably that this person will pick the fire engine red. However, if someone from the Amazon was asked the same question then they will probably pick the Scarlet Macaws because of what it was exposed to.
Phonogram: is a symbol representing a vocal sound but the way it is pronounced will eventually change as the people changes that are differently culturally.
Phoneme: It is any distinct units of sound that make a difference between one word from another, for example like PIT and SPIT. For many English speaker it is very difficult to recognize the difference between those two sounds then who some who does recognize it. The reason why they are able to recognize it is because they grew up learning the difference because they was more words that uses those two sounds. All different languages have different groups for their
