Gina, your entry is mind-blowingly clear, concise, intelligent, and original while being factual. Bravo. What a gift to scholarship!
Hi Gina,
Thank you for sharing with us your fine scholarship. I learned that “spelling is designed to represent meaning,” and as you have been teaching those with ears to hear, “that phoneme-grapheme correspondences are delineated and constrained by morphemic boundaries.” I believe you would want your students to understand the importance of orthography and not look to speech as the primary way to study linguistics. You were even able to make your understandings clear to Non-linguists.
