If told to pick out an American in a group of people, many would probably get it wrong the first time. America is a diverse place with diverse people and trying to identify one is a little tricky, however one thing we all share is the English language. A nationwide connector that is adaptable and flexible in many ways. So why is it that when people who don’t “look American” speak English, no one takes them seriously? Being in the Korean Culture Club (KCC) and the Future Teacher Learning…

The correlations can occur together, or in some cases one is not necessarily caused by the other. Some of the possible factors of phonological and articulatory impairments can be developmental impairment in speech-sound production, language impairment in their production of sounds of the language, hearing impairments which enable…

Poetry is an art form in which the human language is written for its aesthetic qualities instead of notional and semantic content. Poetry can be discerned most of the time from text, which is language meant to express meaning in a more extensive and less condensed way. This doesn’t show that poetry is illogical, but shows how it is used to sometimes escape reality and expresses emotions in a compact form. In most poems the poet will focus on an aspect of the human condition. An example of this…

1) Genie is considered a feral child. That means that she has lived most of her childhood in severe isolation from people. She was isolated from a lot of human interaction as a result from abuse and her father not liking loud noises. This meant that Genie spent most of her childhood sitting for long periods of time and only had interaction with her mother when it was feeding time. Genie was discovered at the age of 13. Genie is a special case for the field of speech-language pathology because…

Wat maak jy? Right now, you are probably thinking that I forgot to use spell check, but the reality is that this is another language. The language is called Afrikaans, and it is a language that I can speak little but understand quite a lot of. This phrase in a literal translation means “what make you?” in a proper sentence it would say “What are you doing?” I plan to show how through personal experience how speaking and being submerged into two different languages can change the way you can see…

Some people rely on it for almost everything, including studying. Does it really help, or is it just an excuse to listen to your new favorite hits? Music, everyone listens to it at one point or another whether it’s classical, country, rock, or any other genre, is it really helping, or is it hurting you? Music has helped alzheimer’s patients in the past, so can it help students with healthy brain activity to study? Using music in classrooms is a controversy to say the least, but one…

The young male client had a Velopharyngeal Impairment (VPI). Working with him post-surgical repair was to increase intelligibility through practicing different sounds in sentences, blends, and in isolation. To help with his hyper-nasality, they put a straw next to his nose while he spoke to help him and the clinician measure how much air he lets escape through his nose. When the client first arrived, he was allowed to talk for a few minutes about his day. He is clearly very social, outgoing and…

name, YHWH, and to not lift the LORD’s name in vain, the Israelites called him Adonai. So later, as the Catholic Answers Staff explains, the name, “‘Jehovah’ appeared when Christian scholars took the consonants of “Yahweh” and pronounced it with the vowels of “Adonai.” This resulted in the sound ‘Yahowah’”. Clearly, both the appearance of the name Jehovah in society, and the fact that this name appears as God’s name in the movie illustrate just how much humans can stray from the original story.…
