For many years, there have been disagreements between the linguistic community about the role of allophones in distinctive feature theory. Many claim that the addition of allophones to feature theory would help further the investigation of language rules; others claim that they would be superfluous and unwieldy to work with. It is my opinion that allophones should be added to the distinctive feature theory models as a method of creating a deeper analysis of the formalization of phonological…
As a high school senior, this is the first Economics class I’ve ever taken. I didn’t know what to expect at all. Talking to most of my classmates didn’t exactly help either. I’ve heard a lot of different opinion about the class, but I knew I had to experience it myself before making a judgment. Some people have told me it was a fun and interesting class while others have told me it’s the most boring class they’ve ever taken. I thought I would be able to compare this class to one of the Social…
Final Case Summary I learned a lot about Miley over the two months that we worked together, but I learned about the things she likes through our interest survey. One thing that Miley really likes is winter, and she drew a snowman for me on her interest survey. She also told me that her favorite subject was the park, which I believe means recess. She really likes the televisions shows Mutt n’ Stuff, Wendy, and the Lion Guard (which is a spin-off of Lion King). Her favorite book is Tap Tap Bang…

Regardless of the activity, X is very active and always has a bunch on his mind. When I first met him, he was the one asking me questions before I had the chance to ask him, now we are equal…
Non-Pulmonic Consonants: Non-pulmonic consonants are consonants created without the guidance of air from the lungs. There are three types of non-pulmonic consonants: clicks, voiced implosives, and ejectives. Clicks are formed by placing two articulatory structures together and separating them rapidly.

The word snuffles is synonymous with the action of sniffling and snivelling, meaning the sharp intake of breath or mucous which results in an audible sound. This word is supposedly not a commonly known English word, and is often replaced by its more common synonym “sniffling”. Originating from the Dutch word “snuffelen”, the word originally meant “to sniff about, pry”, which is similar to its modern day definition. To be more specific, the modern day definition of the term snuffling refers…
