English Linguistics - Assignment 2 James Madison University

[This assignment will be marked only as an acceptable or unacceptable effort.]

1. Write down your answers for exercise 2 on page 32 of the text.
2. Do exercises 2 and 4 on pages 64-65 in your text.
3. Test the following observation out on at least two classmates (or friends/relatives/whatevers):

   If a person is assigned the task of repeating everything someone else is saying (talking over the other person's voice, i.e. shadowing) while simultaneously tapping a finger, the shadower has a harder time tapping a finger on the right hand than tapping a finger on the left hand.

   Write up your results. Did your results clearly match the expect results? If not, what did you observe? (To respect the privacy of your volunteers, do no refer to them by name.)
