Things to Make Sure You Do

use concrete examples- eg., go over actual signs, and explain how they (do not) display thedesign feature in question

RESEARCH!i.e., find articles that teach your something new (outside of requiredreading), and if (you think) you know something, make sure youverify this with a sources.

BibliographyAlthough any style of inline citations and bibliography is fine, it hasto be an actual reference style.

How To Write a Good Argument1. Be clear and explicit (not vague, and especially not contradictory)

If we are asking you a question, try to answer this as clearly aspossible.

Don’t drop a bunch of hints where the underlying theme is(possibly) the answer to the question

Don’t assume your reader will read between the lines the way youwant them to.

Just state the answer to the question, as clearly as possible.

Done?

Now play Devil’s Advocate:

Try to convince someone taking your position that they are wrong.Try to re-analyze your evidence as evidence against your position.

Make sure after considering the other side that your answer really isthe one that is supported by more/better evidence.

If it is (eg. because you could point out flaws in your devil’s-advocate argument)

then you can bolster your original argument1

If it isn’t, re-write your answer!

1Feel free to put these in footnotes or endnotes if you think it’s too much foranyone to want to read. But it’s crucial that you at least THINK through this step.

Design Features and Forming/Evaluating Arguments

QUESTION: Does the 2-year old display the design featurearbitrariness? Duality of patterning? Displacement?

2-year old: I have too many mosquito bites.Adult: Really? Where?2-year old: Right there, on my knee. Yeah it’s aaaaalllll over.Adult: Whaaat? Wow!2-year old: Yeah, I got them on mum-mum.Adult: You got them when?2-year old: I got them when I was dawning.a Do you have bugs at your house?Adult: Yeah. Do you know why they bite you? They bite you because you’rereally sweet.2-year old: But, but, they’re supposed to not eat us, because, because, if theyeat us, then we wouldn’t have any skin.

aIt sounds like ’dawning’ in the video. Maybe she means ’yawning’? Or drawing?This is unclear.

Sample Answer 1: What’s wrong with this answer?

The two-year old talks about things (eg., getting mosquito bites) thathappened at a different place and time.

1. The main claim is not clear - the answer does not explicitly state ”Thetwo-year-old displays the design feature ”displacement”

2. Although a concrete example is given, the answer does not explainhow the example acts as evidence for the main claim - e.g., that”displacement” refers to the ability to refer to entities/events outsideof the ’here and now’ of the speech time, and the two-year old’sdiscussion of getting mosquito bites shows that she can talk aboutevents that are past (i.e., not now).

→ This time we have a clear main claim! Good! But...

1. As with the previous answer, the answer doesn’t explain how theexample supports the main claim - e.g., that the two year old’sdiscussion of getting mosquito bites shows that she can refer to pastevents, which are outside of the ’here and now.’

Sample Answer 3: What’s wrong with this answer?

The two-year old displays the design feature ’arbitrariness’ because she istalking about random, arbitrary things.

1. The definition of ’arbitrariness’ is not correct; the linguistic term’arbitrariness’ refers to ’arbitrary’ relation between (i) what you use torefer to something (the signifier - i.e., combinations of sounds inspoken language) and what you’re referring to (the signified - i.e., theconcept/idea/individual you’re talking about). It does NOT refer toarbitrary choices in topic matter.

2. No concrete example!

3. And since there’s no concrete example, there’s no explanation of howthe concrete example acts as evidence for the main claim.

Sample Answer 4

The design feature ’Displacement’ refers to a communication system’sability to express or refer to concepts that are not present in the here andnow - i.e., the ability to talk about things or events that are ’displaced’ intime, space or reality.

The two-year old displays this design feature when she hypothesizesabout what would happen if mosquitos kept biting humans; the eventthat she describes (i.e., that humans would have no skin) is one thatrefers to entities that are not present in the here and now (the mosquitos,and the hypothesized skinless humans).

A 2 year old talks about her mosquito bitesSample AnswersSample PosterMore Sample Answers

Sample Answer: What’s wrong with this answer?

The two year old displays ’arbitrariness’ because there is a systematiccorrelation between the sounds that she makes, and the concepts sherefers to by using those sounds. For example, when she uses the soundcombination [m2.ski.toU], she is always referring to a kind of midge-likefly that extracts blood from other animals.

Sample Answer: What’s wrong with this answer?

The two-year old displays ’duality of patterning’ because she can usemeaningless words to make up meaningful sentences. For example, shetalks about ”getting mosquito bites on ’mum mum.’” But ’mum mum’doesn’t have a meaning, which shows that she’s using meaningless wordsto make up meaningful sentences.

1. The definition given does not correlate to the definition ofarbitrariness, but rather the definition of semanticity!

2. But it would be a good argument if the main claim was re-cast as”The two-year old displays ’semanticity.’

The two year old displays ’duality of patterning’ because she can usemeaningless words to make up meaningful sentences. For example, shetalks about ”getting mosquito bites on ’mum mum.’” But ’mum mum’doesn’t have a meaning, which shows that she’s using meaningless wordsto make up meaningful sentences.

1. The evidence provided is only consistent with the main claim - it doesnot prove the main claim. To prove the main claim with the examplegiven, it would have to be the case that all of the building blocks onthe word-level were meaningless. But except for ’mum mum’, theother morphemes used to make up the sentence (eg., ’get,’ ’-ing,’’mosquito,’ etc.,) all have their own meaning. This means the buildingblocks at the word/morpheme level are not meaningless.

2. Note, however, that the two-year old DOES display duality ofpatterning: the sounds that she uses to make up the meaningful wordsare meaningless. (Remember, just because an argument isproblematic, it doesn’t mean the main claim is necessarily wrong).

A 2 year old talks about her mosquito bitesSample AnswersSample PosterMore Sample Answers

Sample Answer: What’s wrong with this answer?

The two year old does not display the design feature ’arbitrariness’because she extends the word ’all’ to indicate not just a small area ofmosquito bites, but a large area of mosquito bites on her knee. This isiconic - i.e., there is a direct relationship between the length of the wordand the size of the area affected by mosquito bites. The relationshipbetween the sound and the meaning is therefore not arbitrary.

Sample Answer: What’s wrong with this answer?

’Duality of patterning’ is the property of communication systems wherebythe signal consists of distinct, categorical units, as opposed to consistingof a continuous gradational phenomenon. The two year old does notdisplay ’duality of patterning’ because she extends the word ’all’ toindicate a scalar/ gradational increase in the area which her mosquitobites cover. Because this is continuous, as opposed to categorical, shefails to display ’duality of patterning’

This isiconic - i.e., there is a direct relationship between the length of the wordand the size of the area affected by mosquito bites. The relationshipbetween the sound and the meaning is therefore not arbitrary.

1. As with the previous example, the evidence given shows only showsthat one aspect of the two-year old’s use of the word ’all’ (the length)is non-arbitrary. The use of the sound combination [Al] to mean ’all’is still arbitrary. To make the argument that the two-year old does notdisplay ’arbitrariness,’ you need to show that none of the speech sheproduces is arbitrary.

1. The definition given for duality of patterning actuallycorresponds ot the definition of discreteness.

2. And if we re-frame the main claim as ”The two-year old does notdisplay ’discreteness,’” we have the same problem as the previoussample answer. Only one aspect of the two-year old’s use of the word’all’ (the length) is non-discrete. The combination of the sounds into[Al] is discrete.
