Learning to Mean

I am having a little trouble distinguishing differences in the semantic-feature hypothesis the and the prototype hypothesis. I think it is the examples of animals. The prototype hypothesis seems to mean the same as overextend. Please help me to distingush the difference more clearly.

Thanks in advance.

morphemes, friend or foe?

I think that this unit is a tricky one, i think i'm pretty clear on the morphemes and i'm almost sure i have the utterances but together they get confusing because they all start to blend- any pointers???

Hello everyone,
I think I finally have this "blogging" thing down pat. Its really neat, and now I cant stop! haha It is addicting. I am eager to find out more about our language project. Looking forward to class next monday. Cya

absent :(

I was absent last night due to the stomach virus. I was just wondering if someone would let me know what we did and if I could get with someone right before class next Monday to get caught up on anything. I hate to miss class, however I don't think anyone would have wanted me there!

He guys
I had a really hard time at first trying to figure out how many morphemes and utterances there were in the worksheet tonight. I thought it was interesting, it makes you really think. After going over it as a whole group, It became clearer to me. I thought class time really flew by for some reason.
C ya later! :)

DONE

I just Submitted my answers, am so glade that I have that behind me.
Now am just nervous about what am going to get on the test.

Thanks for your feedback on the test questions i had!!!!

Test

I know that the test is open until Monday but is it open until right before class ends or is it off line first thing Monday? I'm just asking because I'm a server and work doubles all weekend so I only have time to take the test Wednesday night because I work that morning or Monday morning/day before class.
Thanks

hey

Dose anyone want to get together and go over the questions??

Curious....

Hello everyone,
I am curious about what a special education teacher does, and the diffferent areas of it....I am a little foggy when it comes to all of it. The reason I signed up for this class is to have a filler because one of my other classes had gotten canceled and I needed another one in order to be a full time student. I have come to realize that this class is really interesting to me, I realized that there is so much that I thought I knew about language but I really did not! My major right tnow is elem. ed but after subbing for a special ed teacher I really enjoyed pulling children from their classes and working with a few kids at a time because you can have more in depth conversations and form closer bonds...you know what I mean.... I had never thought of that as an option for me until now. I am just kind of gathering research about the area because I may change to special ed..... Does anyone have any advise? Thanks, see you in class tonight!

last min. test q's!!

Hey guys, does anyone have any good tips or tricks to remember what syntax and pragmatics are? everything else sounds like what it is...help. and semantics too!!!

Test

I am totally confused. When is the test? Is it over chapters 1 through 4?

Test...

Test

Did Mrs. White mention the test at all in class? I don't remember anything, but then again, I could have just been spaced out for a minute. Thanks.
Katy

I am finally on here!....I have never "blogged" before so i am not really sure if I am doing this correctly! Just wanted to say that I really enjoyed watching the clips in class on monday night! There were so cute!!! See you guys later!

Mrs. White

Mrs. White, Just wanted to let you know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I was so devasted with the news from class. I hope everything turns out well for your husband and family. Thanks for coming to class and being able to be as strong as you were. I had a brother die three months ago, so I realize how hard something like this can be.

Mrs. White,

I'm not going to be able to make it to class tonight. I'm really sorry, I just thought I should let you know.

It's Monday again!!!!

With this rate, the semester will be over before we know it. Time passes too fast. To Amanda, I commented to your post. I think as a class we should keep Amanda in our prayers. See you all in class.

Goodbye Everyone

Well even though I don't really know anyone in this class too well I wanted to get on here and let everyone know what is going on. I have just recently decided to drop this class. It's not the class nor the teacher or anything like that. I love the class. I hope to take it again someday. For the past few weeks I have been having some major personal problems and this was my only solution. I am needing to take some time to try to get everything sorted out. I'm afraid if I don't then things will only get worse as that is what they have been doing lately. These last few weeks have been extremely difficult for me and this was my only option. It is absolutely nothing against the class or anything. I just have some things that I need to figure out. For some reason life has been throwing me many curve balls lately and I can't seem to hit any of them or even get close. I feel that if I am ever going to be able to help others I have to be able to help myself first. Life has been quite the struggle for me lately. I have been having at least one panic attack each day and that I can not deal with much longer. I'm not sure what life has in store for me or where I will go from here. I'm just trying to do whatever I can to enable myself to move forward during this time in my life. Things are getting way too hard for me to handle so I am having to let go of some things to try to sort it all out. I know most of you would say this should not have been one of them but in the end I know this is best. It was a short time but I had a great time in this class. I hope to take it again another time. I just wanted to take the time out to let everyone know. And I just want to tell everyone, if you are having a difficult time and things are going downhill for you quick, don't do what everyone else around you wants you to do. Don't do what they tell you to do or expect you to do. Sometimes when it comes to situations like this, you have to make the best decision for yourself and think about yourself and do what you feel in your heart is right and just hope that sometime in the future everyone around you will understand. I wish everyone the best of luck. Maybe I will see you all again later on down the road. But right now I need time to figure things out. Thank you for listening and I wish everyone the absolute best. And to Mrs. White, even though it has only been two classes, you have shown me within that short period of time the type of teacher that I hope to be someday. Thank you and good luck to all of you.

Hey!

Hey guys! I hope that everyone has a fun and safe weekend! See everyone Monday!

About the Daycare...

I was suppost to post this for a couple girls awhile back... Sorry, I've been so busy with work and school.

The number for ABC Daycare (where I work) is 859-623-0157
I believe we are still hiring people, if you girls are still interested.

Sorry it took me so long. I just remembered.

I felt the same way!

Don't worry. I also thought the text was difficult to understand. I hate when teachers think everyone should be able to comphrend all the text assigned. When Mrs. White said that she thought it was hard reading, I was relieved!! Plus our activities in class really helped me understand everything better.

Well I hope everyone has a great weekend!!! See everyone on Monday night!

Hello

Well, another weekend is arriving and mine is going to be full. I wanted to comment on the class Monday night. I'll have to admit when getting into this text to read, I was overwhelmed. I don't know if it was just me or not but I was having a really hard time comprehending it. After getting to class, I really appreciated the comment made by Mrs. White about the text being hard to understand, boy did I feel better after class Monday. I want to commend her for the excellent job she did conveying the information. I really understood it thanks to her. I want to be able to teach my students someday this very same way.
Thank you Mrs. White

Just letting everyone know that I had the pleasure of receiving a new granddaughter last night at 8:00 pm. She weighted 7lbs and 9&1/2 ozs and is 19 inches long. She is so sweet. She has black hair and alot of it. She is the first of my children or grandchildren to have any hair. The rest just had peach fuzz.

Have a good weekend everyone.

Hey all,

The weather today is depressing, although I like the rain it has made me so slow and just wanting to curl up and watch a movie while eating popcorn. The last movie I watched was Meet Dave has any one seen it? I thought that it was pretty good movie.

For Class Monday the 8th.

Hey guys! Since we've been out of class for a LONG time, I was wondering what we needed to do in order to be prepared for class on Monday. I think that all we need to do is read chapters 2&3. Is that correct? Is there anything else that we need to do that I am forgeting about?

Ugh, Its Tuesday

Ugh, I am soo not ready to start the week. I spent my Labor Day weekend on the lake and I'm ready to go back, lol. Hope everyone has a good week!
