The Final will cover everything
The final exam will include up to 100 multiple-choice questions, with a combination of multiple choice, true-false, and data analysis.
Be prepared to do phonological data analysis (like you saw in homeworks and sections) and to make syntactic trees on the final.
Go back through the slides (posted here), making use of the podcast if you don’t remember the accompanying points made.
Look through your homeworks, and focus on the questions you got wrong, making sure you know how to get them right in case they come up again.
Look over this study guide, and make sure you can answer all of these questions and define all of the terms. I will not cover all of them, but if you can answer these things, particularly the larger conceptual questions, you’re going to rock this exam.
Answer the questions and define the terms aloud, teaching the information. It’s easy to look at an item and think “Oh, I know that one, I’m good.” But explaining the answer, in detail, as if you were talking to somebody else, can reveal gaps in your knowledge. Seriously, answer the question or define the term aloud to your bae/cat/plant/fellow bus passengers, and you’ll be much more prepared to do well on the test.
Note: You will be given a complete, non-English IPA chart for the exam.
Note: You will be given a set of phrase structure rules on the exam. Do not spend time memorizing them.
