Blog 5: Masterpost McGonigal
A Field of Links- By Julia McGonigal
I’m planning on taking an ASL class while at SDSU. I would love to become fluent but it might be a bit hard if this is true
My parents have always pushed me to learn a language besides Spanish, and every time they do I like to pull out this bad boy !
I’ve always heard that once you speak one latin based language you can learn others easily.
Who know’s if that’s true though? It always seems that languages can be easily learned when you are a baby, not as a young adult
Another suggested language that was suggested for me to try and learn is computer programming language. It seems a bit challenging to me, but I think it could be really cool if I was learning stuff like this
I love that movie Avatar, and I’m totally going to geek out here but there’s tons of different ways to learn the language!
I’ve been trying to figure out if the language itself could be taught as an elective, I’m pretty sure some people have attempted it…
But I mean I know that the individuals who created the Na’vi language studied many different linguistic aspects
Some even go so far as to figure out the specific phonology of the language!
But enough about the already existing Na’vi language…I think it would be interesting to see what goes into developing your own language
It’s the strangest blog I’ve ever found…and yet it is extremely fascinating. I think if I were to create my own language it would just be a bit of confusion.
The best thing for me to do is to find a language that I find interesting, and follow a passion. In this case it’s definitely going to be the Na’vi language! And here’s how I’m going to learn it
Linguistic Variation (VLOG)
Just a short video in which we test the differences in our speech when we are at home or with our peers. A significantly longer version with in-depth discussion is on the way as well.

In the first video clip two different native speakers, Chinese and North American, say a phrase in their language and the other student has to mimic it.

In the Second video clip all group members mimic the accents spoken in four different regions;
the southern south mainly Texas, Spanglish, East Coast, and typical Southern California. however the southern Californian accent was broken into two parts because the guys and girls use completely different structure of language.

Slang Quiz (Vlog #1)
By: Aaron Hayag & Cheyanne Tarango
Since jargon and slang are elements found in Language Variation, we decided to quiz each other with slang words we learned from the region we grew up in.
Cheyanne – “SoCal” (reveals a lot of Spanish influence)
Aaron – Philippines (though technically not a “region”, English is still considered as one of the official languages in the Philippines so a lot of the slang words are actually in English; similar to how the word “bigpella” in one of the Hawaiian Pidgin languages we learned in class comes from the English phrase “big fellow” but with a slightly different meaning)
