1: Research Topics in English and Writing Studies
The type of research that people do in English and
writing studies are many types of research. But to name a few, there are: how
words are translated, what do words mean, how speech is said and heard, and how
people understand languages and words. There are also inquiries done on the
different meaning of words, on how words are written, pronounced, and how words
are gathered into a single sentence and story. Research is also done on the
types of words like: metaphors, similes, synonyms, antonyms, and the structure
of a sentence. If people did not do research on these types of English writing,
writing and English would not exist.
HI,
ReplyDeleteI think this will be great for your field! Learning how we use words or how they are translated is such an import aspect of the way we communicate with other people. As a future teacher I think this would be great since this is a subject you will have to teach students.

I think that you have some very interesting topics that you can find a bunch of research on. However, the one that stood out to me the most was how words are made and translated into different languages. I always thought it was interesting how we go from one word to another and how our english language is made of so many different languages put together. I have a friend who knows a lot of german and french and said that our language is made of a lot of words from both languages. Also the origins of words that we have today would be amazingly interesting. I would suggest talking to Professor Connor about origins of words because he seems to know a lot about them. He once told our class the history of the f-word (of course he asked if this was ok with the class and we were all for it so it was professional) and he said it came from a latin word meaning to cut up someone's gut while they are down and dying. So go for it!
