Assignment: This paper should examine a practical application of linguistic theory to the classroom, workplace, or other real world scenario. Locate a journal article applying some aspect of theory (phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics, etc.) to your field of study or an area of interest to you. In the introduction, give a full reference or state the name of the author and the article and the journal/date. In the body, summarize the article in your own words and then discuss the relationship to your field/interest.

Document your outside source using APA or MLA parenthetical references and a reference or "Works Cited" page. References to the text itself should also be marked properly with quotation marks (as appropriate) and parenthetical references to the page # in the book. See me if you aren't familiar with APA or MLA-style references and need help!

Length: 500+ words (2 typed/word-processed pages)
