That way, you can easily use that degree to teach language classes.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05674600513289363640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3857732848037112916.post-1064911703211236802008-07-20T20:03:00.000+09:002008-07-20T20:03:00.000+09:00To Ed:By the way, I'm having a hard time thinking ...To Ed:<BR/><BR/>By the way, I'm having a hard time thinking of what to take for my Master's Degree... I really want to take Linguistics, but I have no idea what kind of jobs are out there for that degree (aside from teaching, or getting a PHD etc...) Since you took linguistics, I'm hoping to get advice from you.

So, we grew up not knowing how to speak Tagalog (or any other Philippine language, for that matter). I can understand most of what's being said, and I can speak a little, but I'm still a beginner. <BR/><BR/>And the grammars of those languages, IMO, are much more challenging than Indonesian (with the aspectual marking, partial reduplication, and "focus" marking, all of which are minimalized in Indonesian).<BR/><BR/>And since I do traditional Indonesian performing arts, it's simply a natural progression.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05674600513289363640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3857732848037112916.post-80477941795005445552008-07-15T16:53:00.000+09:002008-07-15T16:53:00.000+09:00hi ed. this seemed like an obvious question to me ...hi ed. this seemed like an obvious question to me and i'd love for you to address it: Why the lack of interest (seemingly) in either of your parent's mother tongue?jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07412183814805215021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3857732848037112916.post-81628622643574688692008-07-14T00:14:00.000+09:002008-07-14T00:14:00.000+09:00Theresa- Yes, Bahasa Indonesia and Bahasa Melayu a...Theresa- <BR/><BR/>Yes, Bahasa Indonesia and Bahasa Melayu are quite similar in many respects, but historically they came from different sources.
