This assignment has three parts (A-C), which you should execute and submit in the form of an approximately one-paged document (either via text form or any reasonable format of your choosing). (If it’s a little under, a little over, it’s fine. Use a reasonable font size and page margins and all that. We want to help you learn, we aren’t arbirary-rule-making, particular-format-enforcing monsters.)
(A) First, watch this TED Talk by Deb Roy, “The Birth of a Word” about his use of a novel big data observation methods for understanding language development:

(B) Next, answer the following five basic questions about the study’s set-up:
1. What is the study about (how is it defined)?
2. When during development was it measured?
3. Who were the participants?
4. Where was measurement conducted (context)?
5. How did it emerge (which mechanism)?
(C) Finally, briefly outline the key strengths and limitations of Deb Roy’s experimental approach.
