Summary and Response

Your first paper for the class will be a summary of an article related to language – specifically, the article will have to do with how language works. This is a pretty straightforward assignment. The paper should be 2-3 pages long, and in it you should you should concentrate on making the summary complete, concise, and objective. Make sure you are representing the article accurately and fairly, and try to focus on the most important information in the article. After writing the summary, you should also include your own response to the article: what did you find interesting? What did you agree with or disagree with? Interact with the text in some way; enter the conversation - bring your own perspective to it.

Please use times new roman, 12 point font, 1 inch margins, double space. You do not need a title page, but please include your name on the first page.
