Hart Czech

For both of my papers for this class, I chose to research the Czech language and how its grammatical gender may contribute to gender inequality in the Czech Republic. Before I get into that discussion, I should give a bit of background information about Czech. It is spoken primarily in the Czech Republic, where there are about 10 million speakers. Here is a map:

Czech is similar phonetically to these other languages, but looks different written, because Czech developed accents over some letters, over time, so that there would be one grapheme for each phoneme. Where Polish would use two letters for one sound, Czech uses one accented letter.

Since I cannot observe social behavior, I have not entirely mastered the language to effectively communicate with it. I also liked the topics of generalization and categorization because I can see it in action with my g...

For example, my friends and I use “Yeet” when we need to get each other’s attention, locate the other, or just as an acknowledgement that we are in fact speaking to each other. If she says my name, I sometimes respond with “Yeet?” Even if it’s in our tiny subculture of a clique, references and memes are an effective way for us to communicate. The origin of this word is in the link. Note that there is one curse word.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Bjy5YQ5xPc We can assume it’s an exclamation, commonly one of frustration or of effort, like when a person grunts when physically exerting themselves. However, as it seems to be a made-up word, can we count this as an example of the facets of linguistics and the development of human speech? One o...
