The McGurk-effect An experimental study of the McGurk-effect and whether it occurs among American people with different levels of controlling the Japanese language. 1 Introduction According to Munhall, Gribble, Sacco and Ward (1996) the face provides information about the place of articulation as well as the class of phoneme that is produced when it moves during speech production. Several researches have focused on this topic and this way the McGurk-effect was discovered (Green & Kuhl, 1989, 1991; Green, Kuhl, & Meltzoff, 1988; Green, Kuhl, Meltzoff, & Stevens, 1991; MacDonald & McGurk, 1978). The McGurk-effect is an audiovisual illusion that illustrates the influence of visual input on the auditory input. When confronted with lip-movement that does not correspond to the uttered sounds, the perception of the sound is influenced.
Steven Pinker : The Language Instinct Chapter Words, Words, Words from Pinker‘s Language Instinct deals with the mental dictionary of language and shows the variety and wondrousness as well as curiosity of creating new words in English. Although English as a synthetic language could be seen as morphologically limited, there are plenty of different word-forming processes which make the number of possible English words infinite. However there are certain rules to be followed. Words have their own internal structure based on small pieces they are made of. These pieces are called morphemes and they function as abstract, mental, meaning carriyng symbols in our mind.
It is considered a dialect of English and not a separate language. I have found in my research of Ebonics that there are many types of English. This is why Ebonics is thought to be slang when it is really a dialect. It works much like English language but with little differences.

The fourth and last level relates to text in the English language, for the most part texting is related to a psychologist as nothing more than a group of related words linked to form of paragraph.
1. How do Eckert & McConnell-Ginet define the phonological level of language? What is an example of a phonological feature that we generally think of as (perhaps stereotypically) signifying a particular gendered way of speaking? (You can either use the example given by the authors or provide your own.) The phonological level of language in the reading is defined as a level of language that structures the units of sound (or of gesture in the case of signed language) that constitute linguistic form.

With his principles he would write sentences similar to the following. “Every possible reezon that could ever be offered for altering the spelling of wurds, stil exists in full force; and if a gradual reform should not be made in our language, it wil proov that we are less under the influence of reezon than our ancestors” (197). You most likely understood everything, but one thing that did stand out was the awkward spelling of a few words. The sentence still remains inconsistent with his principles. First the word possible should be spelled “posible" along with “offered, speling, ful, and les”, in order to follow Websters second rule; the removal of all superfluous or silent letters.
