Email * Find the lost treasure of Stouzhi Island One dark and stormy night, while studying for your favourite course, Linguistic Analysis, you find yourself at MacOdrum Library later than usual. The halls are quiet and your back is stiff from poring over the latest fun Dataset, so you decide to stretch and walk a bit. You wander the aisles of the library, impressed by all the Carleton students fastidiously studying. You get a text from your best friend which makes you laugh, so you slip away to a quiet corner to converse with your funny friend. As you do so, you notice a small, leatherbound notebook sticking slightly out on a shelf. It does not seem to match the books around it on the shelf. It looks old and worn, with no title on its spine. And no call number. How odd. You leave your friend hanging and pull the book out from between the others on the shelf. It makes your skin prickle for some strange reason and you feel.... oddly excited and curious. You flip the cover open and see brown, worn pages with many, many scribbles and markings on the old pages. Your interest is piqued thanks to your new love of analyzing foreign languages, so you decide to check this book out more thoroughly. Returning to your study spot, you review the pages of this mysterious book to find what can only be....an old journal of some long-lost seafarer, describing something involving a treasure! You decide that you really must figure out this mysterious text! The journal (and journey) begins.... This is the journal of Jolly Jimmy Hawkins, Master of the Seven Seas. Today, we rode our fine galley along the windy passage, following the shores of The Mermaids' Sighs, rounding the corner of Dead Man's Bay, when the mists cleared to reveal an island that we had never set eyes upon before. The island stood tall, bulky, and brooding. I wondered why we had never seen it before, nor could I remember seeing it on a map. We set sail for this cursed Isle, the wind fore and driving us back. We gave it all our power and sailed near her, finding one small calm bay along her rocky shores. The men crossed themselves and said a prayer for this Island had a magical feel to it, eerie and forlorn. We dropped anchor and took the ol' sloop to the beach. We found no living humans on the island, but we did find clues to something much, much better. I write this journal for my child, "The Linguist", so that you may decipher the long-lost language of the Stouzhi peoples. My child, if you find this, follow my instructions carefully, for these lead to the lost civilization of the Stouzhi fishing folk. A peaceful fishing group who collected pearls and who is rumoured to have left behind a vast amount of shiny treasure. At some point, pirates lay claim to the island, so the clever Stouzhi hid their treasure and pearls behind clever traps inside the vast network of caves and underground network of temples and rooms where the Stouzhi people once resided. I believe that if you can decipher their ancient texts, my child, you will be able to unlock their traps and uncover the Stouzhi treasure! Alas, I was not clever enough to solve the puzzles, but I have faith in you, my child, so make haste! Follow these clues to the island, for what you find will bring our family fame, glory, and wealth beyond compare! But beware! For if ye misinterpret my clues, your only reward may be death or worse: empty pockets! Here are the notes that I have gleaned and the examples of the Stouzhi language. You must use this data to solve the puzzle and find the treasure! Data that has been analyzed by Jolly Jimmy Hawkins: 1.

OURIGINAL: You should upload a draft of your assignment through “Draft submissions” on Canvas to ensure that you have provided references for quotes, and that your assignment is your original work. Code-switching You are in your first month of a 12-month volunteer teaching position in the Pacific. You teach primary school children English and Social Science in a school where everything is taught in English and all the books and materials are in English. The children all speak another local language at home and none of their parents speak English well, although most of them have completed primary school education in English. Even though the children are asked to use English in the classroom, you notice that most of them use words and phrases from their own language when they speak to one another and when they talk about their culture. Explain this phenomenon in the context of code-switching. Bilingualism and language maintenance For bilingual parents in a predominantly monolingual society like Australia, encouraging their children to maintain the language of their parents can be challenging. Why is this the case? What are some of the strategies that their parents (and teachers) can use? Diglossia This table represents a stable diglossic situation in India concerning two varieties of Bengali. Use the table to describe the functional distribution of the ‘High’ (H) and ‘Low’ (L) varieties in Bengali. Based on the information contained in this table, describe the key factors that speakers use to decide which of the varieties they should use. Distribution of the use of High Colit Bhasa (HCB) and Low Colit Bhasa (LCB) FUNCTION HCB LCB Public address of all kinds X Scripted speech X News broadcast X Newspapers X Creative literature except novels, dramas and short stories X Narrative descriptions in novels and short stories X Formal letters X Class lectures X Dialogue in novels, dramas and short stories X Informal personal letters X Conversation with family members X Instructions given to workmen, servants and subordinates X Adapted from Chaterjee, S. (1986). Diglossia in Bengali. In Krishnamurti, B. (ed.), South Asian languages: Structure, convergence and diglossia (pp. 294-311). Delhi: Motilal Banarsidass. 4. World Englishes Using your own variety of English as the basis of your response and as a point of comparison, discuss your attitude to (a) your own variety of English and (b) another variety of English. The other variety of English could be one that is perceived to have more prestige than yours or to have lower prestige than yours. (Make sure you identify your variety of English. In this response, you can use terms such as ‘prestige’ and ‘identity’ in addition to others you feel are relevant.) 5. Global English Examine the proposition below and write a response to it. (Note that you can agree or disagree with this – or partially agree or disagree. Whatever position you take, you need to support your argument with concrete examples.) The global spread of English has been a largely positive development because it has given the world a common working language in international trade and diplomacy. Furthermore, competence in English has given many outer-circle and expanding-circle countries access to western knowledge, and scientific and technological advances. 3See Answer

(4 pts) "Come, there's no use in crying like that!" said Alice to herself, rather sharply. "I advise you to leave off this minute!" She generally gave herself very good advice (though she very seldom followed it), and sometimes she scolded herself so severely as to bring tears into her eyes; and once she remembered trying to box her own ears for having cheated herself in a game of croquet she was playing against herself, for this curious child was very fond of pretending to be two people. "But it's no use now," thought poor Alice, "to pretend to be two people! Why, there's hardly enough of me left to make one respectable person! Soon her eye fell on a little strange glass box that was lying under the table: she opened it, and found in it a very small cake, on which the words "EAT ME" were beautifully marked in currants. "Well, I'll taste and eat it," said Alice, "and if it makes me grow larger, I can reach the key; and if it makes me grow smaller, I can creep under the door; so either way I'll get into the garden, and I don't care which happens!" 1 Question 3) Find all digraphs in the poem below. Indicate whether the pronunciation of each digraph follows the General Rule, a Sub-Group or constitutes an exception. (3 pts) Thus grew the tale of Wonderland: Thus slowly, one by one, Its quaint events were hammered out - And now the tale is done, And home we steer, a merry crew, Beneath the setting sun. Alice! A childish story take, And with a gentle hand, Lay it where Childhood's dreams are twined In Memory's mystic band, Like pilgrim's withered wreath of flowers Plucked in far-off land. Question 4) Indicate all stressed syllables (using stress marks) in the following paragraph. (2 pts) "Sit down, all of you, and listen to me! I'll soon make you dry enough!" They all sat down at once, in a large ring, with the Mouse in the middle. Alice kept her eyes anxiously fixed on it, for she felt sure she would catch a bad cold if she did not get dry very soon. Question 5) In the following passage, identify four different types of regular pronunciation differences between Standard British English and General American. Briefly describe each phenomenon and give a transcription of the words you present in both varieties. (4 pts) It was all very well to say `Drink me,' but the wise little Alice was not going to do that in a hurry. `No, I'll look first,' she said, 'and see whether it's marked "poison" or not'; for she had read several nice little histories about children who had got burnt in the past, and eaten up by wild beasts and other unpleasant things. Question 6) The following table shows a number of nonsense words, i.e. words which do not exist. They all follow either the General Rule or a Sub-Group. Fill in the blanks.
