communication, either spoken or
written

 it is also arbitrary.
 LANGUAGE AND ITS ORIGIN
1. Belief in Divine Creation- language is the gift of God to
humans.

2. Natural evolution hypothesis- at some point in time humans

evolved a language acquisition device

3. Imitation Hypothesis- holds that language began through

some sort of human mimicry of naturally occurring sounds or
movements:

 Ding Dong Theory- language began when humans started

naming objects, actions and phenomena after a recognizable
sound associated with it in real life.

e.g. crash=thunder, boom=explosion

 Pooh Pooh Theory- holds that the first words came from
involuntary exclamations of dislike, hunger, pain, or pleasure,
eventually leading to the expression of more developed ideas
and emotions
 LANGUAGE AND ITS ORIGIN
e. g. Ha-ha-ha! =Happy, Ouch!= Pain

Problem: Emotional exclamations are a very small part of any

language. They are highly language specific.

e.g. English- Ouch! but in Russia oi. or in Cherokee eee.

 Bow- Wow Hypothesis- holds that vocabulary developed from

imitations of animal noises.

e.g. Moo, aw-aw, meow, quack-quack.

Problem: Onomatopoeia is a limited part of the vocabulary of

any language. The linguistic renditions of animal sounds differ
considerably from language to language, although each species
of animal everywhere makes essentially the same sound:
 LANGUAGE AND ITS ORIGIN
e.g. (Dog) Philippines: aw-aw; China: wu-wu; Japan wan-wan;
Russia: gaf-gaf, tyaff-tyaff;

(Pig) Philippines: oink-oink; Russia: hryu-hryu; China: oh-ee-

oh-ee; Japan bu-bu.

(Rooster) Russia: kukareiku; Japan: kokekoko

 Ta Ta Theory- introduced by Charles Darwin

- speech may have developed as a sort of
mouth pantomime:

e.g. Waving of hand= Hi/Hello

Showing a closed fist: making a challenge/ provoking for a
fight

Problem: Just like onomatopoeic words, differ from culture to

culture.
 LANGUAGE AND ITS ORIGIN
4. Necessity Hypothesis- holds that language began as a
response to some acute necessity in the community.

 Warning Hypothesis- language may have evolved from

warning signals such as those used by animals.

e.g. Run, Look out, Help

 The Yo-he-ho Theory- the idea that speech started with the
rhythmic chants and grunts people used to coordinate their
physical actions when they worked together.

e.g. Volga boatmen, military marching chants, seven dwarfs

working song

5. The la-la theory

The idea that speech emerged from the sounds of inspired
playfulness, love, poetic sensibility, and song.

 SOUND REASONING

-Sound reasoning is used everyday.

2 Types of Sound Reasoning

1. Deductive Reasoning- is a type of
reasoning which goes from general
to specific. (conclusion to evidences)
 SOUND REASONING

Example: Your prior knowledge tells

you that Moslems do not eat pork. Your
boss is a Moslem. You will not take him
to the restaurant that serves only
lechon because you know that eating
pork is not allowed in his faith.
 SOUND REASONING

2. Inductive Reasoning- is a type of

reasoning which goes from specific to
general. (evidences to conclusion)
 SOUND REASONING
Example: You are sick with influenza, you
just stayed home and didn’t go to school.
You texted your classmate and asked him to
tell your teacher that you are sick with the
flu. Your classmate texted you back and told
you that he also has the flu. You logged in to
your social media account. You saw that
most people are complaining of getting sick
with the flu. From these similar incidences,
you concluded that there’s an outbreak of
the flu.
 SOUND REASONING
Your logical reasoning can be arranged
like this:

I am sick with influenza.

My classmate is also sick with influenza.
Most of my friends in social media are
complaining of getting sick with influenza.
There is an influenza outbreak.
 SOUND REASONING
EXAMPLES:
1. The children in that house yell loudly
when they play in their bedroom. I can
hear children yelling in that house,
therefore the children must playing in
their bedroom.
2. Paul is a Paulinian who is faithful
The classmate of Paul is faithful
Therefore, Paulinians are faithful.
LISTENING
FALLACIES IN
REASONING
A fallacy in reasoning makes an argument false or
unreliable. Here are a few most common fallacies in
reasoning.
1. Bandwagon- this is a reasoning based on
popularity rather than on scientific evidence or
facts. This gives one a feeling of “you are the
only one not doing (or using) it, so why not join
now?”

EXAMPLE:
Katie likes to read and would rather do that than
play sports. Her friends make fun of her and tell her
that reading is for nerds. Katie stops reading so
much and starts to play sports more.
 EXAMPLE OF BANDWAGON
“Marie notices that many of her friends have started
eating a low-carb diet and drinking protein shakes.
Marie decides that this must be the healthy way to
eat, so she joins them.”

“During the obstacle course, Tanner believes that

going left will get them out of the maze, but
everyone else thinks they should go right. So,
Tanner goes with the group.”
2. Hasty Generalization- this is reaching a
conclusion without enough pieces of evidence or
further studies. You should not use an isolated
experience to make a general statement or
judgement on something or someone.

EXAMPLE OF HASTY GENERALIZATION

“If my brother likes to eat a lot of pizza and French

fries, and he is healthy, I can say that pizza and
French fries are healthy and don't really make a
person fat.”
 EXAMPLE OF HASTY GENERALIZATION

“Kevin's grandparents do not know how to use a

computer. Kevin thinks that all older people must be
computer illiterate.”
3. Red herring- is an argument that distracts the
opponent away from the real issue and leads them
to an irrelevant issue.

Example: A politician was arrested and put to jail

because of graft and corruption. Instead of focusing
on the issue that he had stolen money from the
people, that he should undergo a fair trial and suffer
the consequences thereafter, the lawyers may try to
divert the attention of the people to another issue
such as the terrorist attack that happened in the
mall.
Note: Observe how crucial political issues in the
Philippines are sometimes ignored because an
irrelevant and unimportant showbiz issue is given
the spotlight. This is red herring.
4. Attack on a person- this reasoning attacks the
person instead of the issue. This happens a lot in
politics. If you hear politicians attacking their
opponents instead of the issue, beware!

“He is always late for his meetings. How do you

expect him to advance the progress of this country if
he is always running late?”

“Mrs. Peters is nominated for teacher of the year,

which is voted on by her fellow faculty members. A
colleague says that she would never vote for her
because she is too young.”
5. Either or Reasoning- this presents only two
alternatives and acts as if there are no other
choices.

Example: “Eat an apple a day or you will get sick.”

It’s not apples only that will keep you from getting
sick. There are many other nutritious fruits that are
as healthy as apples. And besides, it’s not only fruits
that keep you healthy. You should have a balanced
nutrition to stay healthy.

“Child to parent: Either you buy me this new book, or

you decide that reading is not important at all.”
“Drink water every day and be healthy, or continue
to drink sodas and be unhealthy.”
 SOURCES OF
DATA
INFORMATION
 “BE CAREFUL
OF WHAT YOU
READ”
 3 main things that you should
keep in mind when investigating
sources of information:

1. The Author
-Who is the author of that source of
information?
-Is the author an expert on the
subject matter?
-What is the purpose of the author?
2. The pieces of evidence to the
claims of the Author.
-Note: the supporting pieces of
evidence the author presents should
be of high-quality information that
are factual, reliable, updated, and
comprehensive.
3. The publisher or sponsor(s)
-Note: evaluate the source when
reading information: investigate the
author’s background, examine the
evidence, and check the background
of the publisher or sponsor.

Internet Sources
Is a massive and comprehensive
source of information.
JOURNAL
ARTICLE
- Journal articles are shorter than
books and written about very
specific topics.
 TOPIC
-is simply who or what is being
talked or written about.

-a topic is never stated in a complete

sentence. It can be stated as a word
or a phrase.
 TOPIC
- in finding the topic of a written
passage- look first at the title, look
for repeated words in the selection,
and for the idea that is emphasized
throughout the passage.
 The Main Idea
 the whole point is the main idea.

2 types of main ideas:

1. Stated Main Idea
-it is directly stated.

2. Implied Main Idea

-it is not directly stated.
 The Main Idea
Note: How to identify the main
ideas? A main idea should be stated
in one sentence only. If you cannot
see one sentence in the written
passage that would capture the
whole idea of the text, then the main
idea is probably not stated; rather, it
is implied.
 The Main Idea
A main idea is never a word, a
phrase, or a question. It should be a
complete declarative sentence.

 4 Ways on How to Interact with
Academic Texts:
3. Analyzing– this is examining the
content by breaking down the
different sections for more focus.
This can be particularly helpful if you
are about to read a fairly and difficult
material.
 4 Ways on How to Interact with
Academic Texts:
- In doing this, you must practice
noting details because you might
want to occasionally record the
things that you have learned or have
interested you. You can also apply
your knowledge on identifying the
author’s purpose and intended
audience.
4 Ways on How to Interact with
Academic Texts:

4. Summarizing– this is giving the

gist of a text. Thus, a summary
presents the main ideas and the
important supporting details.
CITATION AND
REFERENCE OF
SOURCES
The process of acknowledging the
source of information that you have
used in your manuscript is called
citation

The process of organizing the written

works cited in your manuscript is
called reference
 Some common
citation styles:
1. American Psychological Association
(APA)
APA is mostly used for social sciences
(e.g., economics, geography,
psychology, physiology).
 Some common
citation styles:
2. Modern Language Association (MLA)
MLA mostly used for liberal arts and
humanities (e.g., fine arts, music,
philosophy, literature).
 Some common
citation styles:
3. Chicago Manual of Style (CMS)
CMS is mostly used in the publishing
industry. CMS has guides for correct
grammar, documentation, and writing.
 Note: Whichever citation style you will use,
you are to always take note of the following:
name(s) of the author(s); the title of the book
(or article, journal, etc.), the date published,
the name of the publisher, and the place it
was published.
However, the way these information are
written varies on the citation style needed.
Each citation style has its own format and
areas where it is commonly used.
 2 Ways on How to
Present Citations:
1. In-text citation – this is an insertion
of a citation within the text itself. It
usually has the last name of the
author and the date of the source
was published. (e.g. Morris, 2018)
NOTE: Include an in-text citation when you
refer to, summarize, paraphrase, or quote
from another source. For every in-text
citation in your paper, there must be a
corresponding entry in your reference list.

The format of writing citation varies on the

resource material used and the citation
required for the work or study. It is either
APA, MLA, or CMS.
Example paragraph with in-text citation
A few researchers in the linguistics field have
developed training programs designed to
improve native speakers' ability to understand
accented speech (Derwing, Rossiter, & Munro,
2002; Thomas, 2004). Their training techniques
are based on the research described above
indicating that comprehension improves with
exposure to non-native speech. Derwing et al.
(2002) conducted their training with students
preparing to be social workers, but note that
other professionals who work with non-native
speakers could benefit from a similar program.
 2 Ways on How to
Present Citations:
2. References / Bibliography – this is a
comprehensive list of sources, which is
found at the end of the articles. This
part of the book or journal article is
called references, bibliography, or
works cited.
- All the references listed here should
be sited within the text and vice versa.
Similar to In-text citation, this also
follows the format used in citation,
depending on the type of research.
 Example of Reference
Derwing, T. M., Rossiter, M. J., & Munro,
M. J. (2002). Teaching native speakers to
listen to foreign-accented speech. Journal
of Multilingual and Multicultural
Development, 23(4), 245-259.
Thomas, H. K. (2004). Training
strategies for improving listeners'
comprehension of foreign-accented
speech (Doctoral dissertation). University
of Colorado, Boulder.
 How to do the APA Citation and
Reference
APA in-text citation style uses the author's
last name and the year of publication, for
example: (Field, 2005). For direct
quotations, include the page number as
well, for example: (Field, 2005, p. 14).

 Citing In-Text References Using APA

In-text references should immediately

follow the title, word, or phrase to which
they are directly relevant, rather than
appearing at the end of long clauses or
sentences. In-text references should
always precede punctuation marks.
 Citing In-Text References Using APA

Author's name in parentheses:

One study found that the most important
element in comprehending non-native
speech is familiarity with the topic (Gass &
Varonis, 1984).
 Citing In-Text References Using APA

Author's name as part of narrative:

Gass and Varonis (1984) found that the
most important element in comprehending
non-native speech is familiarity with the
topic.
 Citing In-Text References Using APA

Multiple works: (separate each work with

semi-colons)

Research shows that listening to a

particular accent improves comprehension
of accented speech in general (Gass &
Varonis, 1984; Krech Thomas, 2004).
 Citing In-Text References Using APA

Direct quote: (include page number)

One study found that “the listener's

familiarity with the topic of discourse
greatly facilitates the interpretation of the
entire message” (Gass & Varonis, 1984,
p. 85).
 Citing In-Text References Using APA

Note: For direct quotations of more

than 40 words, display the quote as an
indented block of text without quotation
marks and include the authors’ names,
year, and page number in parentheses at
the end of the quote.
 Citing In-Text References Using APA
For example:
This suggests that familiarity with
non-native speech in general,
although it is clearly not as important
a variable as topic familiarity, may
indeed have some effect. That is,
prior experience with non-native
speech, such as that gained by
listening to the reading, facilitates
comprehension. (Gass & Varonis,
1984, p. 77)
 Citing works with Multiple Authors
Using APA
Note: When using multiple authors'
names as part of your narrative, rather
than in parentheses, always spell out the
word and.

For multiple authors' names within a

parenthetic citation, use &.
 Citing works with Multiple Authors
Using APA
One author: (Field, 2005)
Two authors: (Gass & Varonis, 1984)
Three to five authors:
First citation: (Derwing, Rossiter, &
Munro, 2002)
Subsequent citations: (Derwing et al.,
2002)

READING JOB
RELATED
DOCUMENTS
 PRE-
EMPLOYMENT
DOCUMENTS
 1. Cover Letter – it should be short
and simple.
1st paragraph- it should highlight your
objective for applying in the job
position, how was the job position
being discovered.
2nd paragraph- it should highlight your
credentials that qualify you such a
position.
3rd paragraph- it should bring a friendly
end to your letter by offering how you
can be contacted. Another thing to
keep in mind is to do some research
find out the name of the person to
whom you address your cover letter.
Avoid using “To whom it may concern,”
or other general terms such as “Dear
Hiring Manager” or “Dear Department
Head.”
 2. Resume – should only be of one
page. A hiring manager will not have
the time and interest to read a resume
that has many pages.
Comprehensive resume, which details
all your achievements, should be given
only upon request of the company.
-Usually given if you are applying for a
promotion within the same office or
company.
Note: Your one page resume, on the
other hand, should contain only the
relevant details for the job you are
applying for. Your highest educational
attainment is the most important. You
do not include your kindergarten and
elementary schools. Likewise, you do
not mention your awards or
achievements during your elementary
years.
3. Portfolio – is a compilation of proofs
of your achievements.

Example: If you are a Photographer

you can compile the most beautiful
photos you have taken in a clear book.
