Due Date : Thursday, November 13, 2008
In pairs, with your partner*, write a 500‐word essay of what you understand about the study of
linguistics. The essay should cover why it is (not) significant to study linguistics. What is it that
linguists are attempting to discover through their study of languages? What contribution do
you think linguistics will give for the sake of human life? Make reference to our discussions in
class and in our blog. Make sure you have the thesis statement and the arguments to support
your thesis. Also, don’t forget to write your bibliography.
Type your essay and print it on an A‐4 paper, double space.
