SLP 101
I am an undergrad student, majoring in Linguistics and minoring in Psychology. My goal is to take post-bachelor courses in Speech Language Pathology, then move on to acquiring a Master's in the field. My motivations for beginning this blog are as follows:
-To teach myself more about the field of Speech Language Pathology, and language in general.
-To learn from professionals and others with the same interests.
-To, eventually, share my knowledge with others.
Thank you for following me on this journey.

By far my favorite linguist of all time is Benjamin Lee Whorf.

In classes I’ve had in the past, the professors have touched either a little or a lot on how language, cognition, and culture are inextricably connected. It’s truly fascinating, as a monolingual, to examine a language different from your own and to realize the speakers also have different concepts of socialization, time and space, etc. Intimidating, but fascinating.
