Generative Grammar
Chomsky's Theory of syntax
What is generative grammar? Linguists who work within the framework of generative grammar strive to develop a general theory that reveals the rules and laws that govern the structure of particular languages, and the general laws and principles governing all natural languages. The basic areas of study include phonology (the study of the sound patterns of language), morphology (the study of the structure and meaning of words), syntax (the study of the structure of sentences), and semantics (the study of linguistic meaning). ~Princeton.edu
The process of changing a deep structure into a surface structure is referred to as a transformation. Transformations can involve moving parts of the sentence or adding or deleting parts.
Cognates are words that come from the same root. Students use their knowledge of morphology to develop academic vocabulary through the study of cognates.
An internet tool can be used to build academic vocabulary for emergent bilinguals is WordShift. WordShift was created to help teachers manage the demands of vocabulary and academic language in their text materials.
The natural order hypothesis is the idea that children learning their first language acquire grammatical structures in a pre-determined, 'natural' order, and that some are acquired earlier than others. This idea has been extended to account for second language acquisition in Krashen's theory of language acquisition. ~Teachingenglish.org
Implicit Association
The Implicit Association Test (IAT) measures the strength of associations between concepts and evaluations or stereotypes to reveal an individual's hidden or subconscious biases.
What's the meaning of implicit bias?
What is implicit bias? Implicit bias is a form of bias that occurs automatically and unintentionally, that nevertheless affects judgments, decisions, and behaviors. Research has shown implicit bias can pose a barrier to recruiting and retaining a diverse scientific workforce.
Explicit Bias:Explicit bias is the traditional conceptualization of bias. With explicit bias, individuals are aware of their prejudices and attitudes toward certain groups
