CORPUS LINGUISTIC ASSIGNMENT

RQ 1 : Identifiable characteristics of Language Acquisition ; Formation of rules RQ 2 : How can Corpus be used to facilitate Second Language Acquisition To better see that, we had to define the acquisition process, a comparison between adult speakers who had Aqcuired the language vs young speakers who have yet to Aqcuire the language Limitations 1) Research paper only covers a specific language. 2) Does not cover creoles and learners of multiple languages at the same time 3) The measure of Acquisition is blurred by the analysis.

Reflection 8: Overall summary of the course

This course has taught us how to apply a lot of computer application in helping us to understand more about language and our subjects. It also shows us that we can look at a text from various perspective and mode.

We wrote of Netiquette, or the general behaviour one should abide by if you wish to have a cohesive ans beneficial discussion, in absence of tone of voice, facial cues, and gestures.

The mode of communication between God and Prophet was through the angels. The mode between our Prophet s.a.w and us is through the hadith, divided in its proofing via its Sanad and Matn. In both behaviour carried withing human forums, and digital ones, that a certain decorum and behaviour must be adhered to for a smooth

As Muslim we cannot take this advancement of technology for granted as it can be used for the betterment for our Ummah. We have to use this according to our Islamic rule and do not spread lies and slanderous article. We can use CMC such as forum or Instagram to spread da’wah and spreads the truth about how our Muslim brother are being oppressed and attacked without mercy, and defend them if a debate sprung on the topic of terrorist in every corner of the internet by giving facts and retaliate in an according manner. We can also use these CMC to ask for donation or selling items that can help our Ummah and the unfortunates in our cou
