Bariah Qadeer, W14: Digging Deeper

Hi Everyone,

I am in the process of reading and taking notes on the sources that I have found.

Scholarly Sources:

-          I wrote “language change” and “English” in EBSCO and found the following article:  TELEVISION CAN ALSO BE A FACTOR IN LANGUAGE CHANGE: EVIDENCE FROM AN URBAN DIALECT.

(This will give some information on language change and what causes it. But I still need to find more information as to how language change affects writers? So this article will be used to understand “language change” but may not be used as a source).

-          I also have an article on “Language Change” from the National Science Foundation

So I am looking in journal article and in books for scholarly sources. Also, I am looking under the fields of humanities and psychology. I have found some information, however I still need to find how language change affect writers?

Popular Sources:

- I found a podcast on Spark: Beauty and Brains, Beautiful Sound, Because Noun, 24-hour Music, Dramatizing the Internet, and Photo Organization.

• This podcast provides cultural implication of the “because noun” phrase and this is helpful.

- Also this podcast referenced a blog post “All things Linguistic.” This blog has information on the “because noun phrase.” (This is Gretchen McCulloch's blog post who is a Linguistics M.A. grad from McGill University).

- I even have Geoff Pullum’s article on the “because noun phrase” which I will use as a primary source.

So I am looking at podcasts, blog posts and newspaper articles for popular sources. I am looking for information under the field of English and linguistics. 

Research and note taking is still going on!
