    Course Project: My Linguistic Autobiography

    Instructions:

    Create your linguistic autobiography. In other words, trace the development of your own speech variety or varieties. Of
    course, to do this, you’ll need to also trace some of your family history, especially those of your parents, siblings (if any)
    or any other relatives, care-takers, acquaintances and/or peers whose speech varieties have influenced your own in some
    way or another.  Relevant biographical data may include: place of birth, where you grew up, what language(s) and
    language attitudes you’ve been exposed to. Please share any relevant events that, as you remember them, may have
    influenced, or challenged or affirmed, your identity in some decisive or memorable fashion. It is a must to describe the
    patterns in your speech varieties in everyday language, preferably using the linguistic technical terminology. The most
    important issue here is your own meta-linguistic reflection about your own language patterns, its acceptance (or lack of
    acceptance) by others, how these patterns have shaped your identity, and so on. See attached guidelines and rubrics for
    reference.

    Guidelines:

    1. Length of essay: 1,000 words TOTAL, excluding the bibliography. 


    2. Include your name, the course, the date and a title on the first page. Be sure to double-space, use a normal 12-point font and 1-1.25
    inch margins. 
    3. The accepted file format for submission is pdf and docx file ONLY.
    4. Number your pages accordingly. You may put a footnote on your document.
    5. Quote and analyze specific passages from the chosen text to support your argument. 
    6. Support your assertion with specific references to readings, and make sure that your citations ARE included in page numbers and
    bibliography as necessary. 
    7. Cite quotations correctly. Use APA citation in your references. Make sure to follow the accurate format. Failure to do so, may result
    to point deductions.
    8. All written papers will also be checked using a plagiarism checker. Once the result showed high percentage of plagiarism rate, it
    will automatically incur a failing grade on the course project.
