Ultimately the Linguistic Autobiography will be a brief essay of 750 – 1500 word
Ultimately the Linguistic Autobiography will be a brief essay of 750 – 1500 words (2-3 pp) about your personal history and experience with language (what you turn in for Stage 2). Whereas our initial course modules focus on the formal aspects of language, this assignment is an invitation to focus on its function and how it relates to your membership in communities.
For this stage, though, the goal is just to collect your thoughts by completing a questionnaire. Course staff will comment directly in your submitted response (see “Formatting” below) with follow-up questions or suggestions to help you build your observations into an essay.
Provide answers to the following questions with as much detail as you feel comfortable sharing.
Where are you from(China)? Where have you lived(USA)? Who have you lived with(my parent who doesn’t speak english, they speak mandarin)?
Which of these social details do you think may have influenced the way you use language now? Are there other social details that you think are relevant or important?
Is there a language variety you used to know as a small child that you don’t speak so well anymore? (*see note below these questions for some links about the term “language variety”)
Is English, especially the standardized variety used in instruction at this University, something that you learned in school? What do you remember from your experience in learning English?
Do you remember particular comments or instances where your language variety was commented on? Have you ever been praised for your fluency in a standardized variety of language (including but not limited to English)? Have you ever received criticism because of not using a particular language variety?
Are there other languages you learned in school that have been important to your personal development? Are there any you aspire to learn? If so, why?
Is there anything else you’d like to add? Do you have any observations about your personal history and its relation to language that is not covered by the prompts above?
