Within the study “Semantic and Conceptual Knowledge Underlying Bilingual Babies’ First signs and Words”, Holowka, Brosseau-Lapré and Petitto attempt to gain understanding regarding bilingual babies reaching language milestones and their semantic capacities at the given milestones. The experiment addresses their hypotheses in four parts: Analysis I, which compares the bilingual milestones with monolingual milestones; Analysis II, which regards the use of TEs—or Translation Equivalents—and the…

It is entirely undeniable that language has power. We use language to explain feelings, thoughts, rights, and reasons and utilize it as a way to move and change the world so that it can be more inclusive for all groups of people. Language has allowed marginalized groups to explain their experiences, to change the discourse surrounding them, and to give them titles that they choose rather than ones forced upon them.

Concussions can also cause permanent long term damage to the wiring of the brain. In older athletes, blows to the head can cause more harm because adults have one-eighth to a quarter-inch of space between the brain itself and the skull. This allows for more room for the brain to repeatedly hit the skull, whereas in a teenage athlete…
