The purpose of this assignment is to analyze the similarities/differences between English and spanish language (sound system, spelling (symbols), sentence structure/word order, etc.)
You can gather the information through interviewing a speaker of spanish language that is bilingual, or you can conduct research online to learn about the differences.
Please include the following parts to your research and presentation:
a. Phonological Findings
What phonological differences did you notice between the language you studied and English? Were there any unfamiliar vowel sounds? Were there any unfamiliar consonant clusters? What did you notice about the intonation or rhythm of the language? Was there vowel harmony?
b. Morphological and Syntactical Findings
What morphological differences did you notice between the language you studied and English? Were there any inflectional endings (such as for the plural, past tense, or possessive)? What word order is used in the target language (subject-verb-object, subject-object verb, and so on)?
c. Writing System Findings
What did you learn about the writing system?
d. Nonverbal Behavior
What did you learn about nonverbal behavior in the target culture? Are the emblems similar? What are other features of their nonverbal behavior, e.g. proxemics, eye contact, and so on?
e. Culture, Greetings, Number Systems, and Other Information
What did you learn about the target culture? Which greetings did you learn? Does the target culture use a number system similar to ours? What other information did you elicit?
