Labov And Trudgill Observation Report

261 Words2 Pages

The results from the Labov and Trudgill observations really surprised. In New York City, it was found that the higher a person’s socio-economic status, the more likely it was that they would pronounce the postvocalic /r/ sound. If they were of lower status, they wouldn’t pronounce the sound. However, in Reading, England, it was found that the higher class individuals didn’t pronounce the /r/ sounds that their American counterparts were known for. It was pretty interesting how word sounds could differ depending on the social class, and even among the people in the same class, their words could sound the opposite of each other. If anything, I think these observations show that grammar and social markers can differ among the cultures and countries

    Figure shows the intersection of line joining the camera center and image points ${\bf x}$ and ${\bf x'}$ which will be the 3D point ${\bf X}$.\\ \end{figure} The ‘gold standard’ reconstruction algorithm minimizes the sum of squared errors between the measured and predicted image positions of the 3D point in all views in which it is visible, i.e.\\ \begin{equation} {\bf X=\textrm{arg min} \sum_{i} ||x_i-\hat{x_i}(P_i,X)||^2} \end{equation} Where ${\bf x_i}$ and ${\bf \hat{x_i}(P_i,X)}$ are the measured and predicted image positions in view $i$ under the assumption that image coordinate measurement noise is Gaussian-distributed, this approach gives the maximum likelihood solution for ${\bf X}$.

    1. There are two ways of maximizing points in this experiment. The first one is that I should connect myself to a vertex that is in the biggest component and purchases immunization. Since the probability of being infected is based off of expected value, I would have less than 1% chance of getting infected. The second way is that I try to make myself stay in the second-largest connected component.

    Introduction For two days, on the 14th and 15th of April, a field excursion to Hastings Point, New South Wales was conducted. At Hastings Point, topography, abiotic factors and organism distribution were measured and recorded, with the aim of drawing links between the abiotic factors of two ecosystems (rocky shore and sand dunes), the organisms which live in them, and the adaptations they have developed to cope with these conditions. Within these two ecosystems, multiple zones were identified and recorded, and this report also aims to identify the factors and organisms associated with each zone. Lastly, using data and observations from the past, predictions for the future of the rock pool ecosystem were made.

Boroditsky breaks down this classic tale by analyzing how people who speak different languages perceive and understand this same form of media. Boroditsky starts her analyzation by stating that “In English, we have to mark the verb tense…” (Boroditsky 437) she then continues her analysis by comparing English to how “In Indonesian you need not (in fact you can’t) change the verb to mark tense.”

    1. method via radar of measuring near star distances, Direct distance measurements are based upon the Astronomical unit (AU), which is the distance between the Earth and the Sun. Historically, observations of transits of Venus were crucial in determining the AU; in the first half of the 20th century, observations of asteroids were also important. Presently the orbit of Earth is determined with high precision using radar measurements of distances to Venus and other nearby planets and asteroids,[1] and by tracking interplanetary spacecraft in their orbits around the Sun through the Solar System. Kepler's Laws provide precise ratios of the sizes of the orbits of objects orbiting the Sun, but provides no measurement of the overall scale of the orbit system. Radar is used to measure the distance between the orbits of the Earth and of a second body.

The image was of a newly forming solar system.

  • What Is The Knower's View Of North Korean War

    850 Words  | 4 Pages

    Language is the ‘material’ of knowledge and the structure of language affects the speaker's view or perception. “Whorfianism”, or linguistic relativity suggests that “language influences our minds in different ways not because of what language allows us to think but rather what it habitually obliges us to think”. Hangul, also known as the Korean language, reflects the hierarchical society of Korea where an individual is identified by his or her relative status in the societal structure rather than individualities. Therefore, “the relationship between a speaker or writer and his or her subject and audience is paramount in Korean grammar”. Speakers and writers have to constantly think about his or her status in relation to the subject referent or audience, deciding when to use honorifics or certain speech levels.
