Me Talk Pretty 1 Day...

After reading this passage, it comes to my notice that the author struggled so hard to learn French language. Though he knew the alphabets and understood some of the concepts, he had difficulty in writing and speaking. For this reason, the language teacher of her French class insult him. However, the author was passionate to learn this language, so he emphasized to adopt this language Learning this language couple of months, he could write something ungrammatically. For example, "Sometime me cry alone at night". Observing this sentence, we could demonstrate that author did not know how to use the grammar of French. The sentence "sometime me cry at night" is not grammatically correct. Because a sentence always reffers a noun as a subject, then verb and object. However, according this sentence provides the pronoun first which is absolutely incorrect.

When I started to learn English, I felt difficulty in writing and speaking becuase of its rules and grammar. I had problem to find the difference between active and passive voice. Moreover, becuase of having an accent, sometime people got trouble to understand me. However, since I have learned the linguistice format, especially, phonology and morphology, I have improved my speaking in addition to understanding the English better.

chapter: 09

Chapter 9, describes the sentence structure, which is called syntax. To create any sentence we must follow some structures, otherwise, the sentence could not make any sense to us. Therefore, this chapter basically demostrates how the parts of speech getting together to form a sentence that represents the meaning. For example, if any sentence is active or passive, we could find the difference between them by knowing the surface structure, that is, the difference syntacs forms by the individual English sentence. Not only that, whether, we could form any sentence by adding another or not, it also explains. For example, the sentence, "the glass is broken by me", also could write as a "it was me who broke the glass and was this glass broken by me?". According to this sentence explains that we could form any sentence longer by knowing the rule of deep structure. Beside this, chapter 9, also demonstrate which rules we should follow, and which shouldn't.

where the words come from...

According to this passage, the defination of the word is the meaningful sound in a language. Words are created from different ways, such as by borrowing, sharing, compounding, and erroring. However, sometimes many words vary its different meaning in order to having the same speeling these words are describes as polysemy; for example, boil in the sense of heating a pan of a water, and it also could be defined as an irruption of the skin. Thses are the things often make us confused if we don't know their various definations. Additionally, some of the words have the same pronunciation as others except its spelling; for example, the word flour, and flower provide the same sound except the meaning. Most of the english words are came from German, in addtion to borrowing and blending from others; for example, sofa is one of the words in English that is adopted from Arabic. However, the most interesting part which this chapter illustrates that the erroring words. for example, the word sweetheart originally formed from the word 'sweetard'. The reason why some of the words came by erroring is becuase of our mishearing. Additionally, many words came from writers, for example the words barefaced, critical, leapfrog, excellent, majestic, gust, lonely, hurry, hin and countless came from Shakespears. Beside this some of the words provided the opposite meaning of a same word; for example, the word brave once implied as cowardice.
