About
Dear Reader,
I love to write, and I enjoy editing. So I am making this blog simply to practice writing. So if you catch a spelling mistake, a grammatical mistake, or any sort of mistake, please feel free to leave a comment. I would also appreciate it if you would leave a comment responding to the content of the post.
I also like to learn and relearn. Most researches have shown that the best way to learn is to teach. And part of teaching is making a plan lesson plan, which involves writing. Thus, for me writing is a way to learn.
I am writing about law and linguistics because those are the two academic topics that define me. I graduated with a BA in linguistics and thought about going to grad school in that field. But I changed my mind and went to law school instead because I want to learn about law. What I have learned in these subjects has defined the way I think. Thus, I enjoy learning and writing about these topics.
My goal in making this blog is to keep myself informed and interested in these areas. I find that I have forgotten much of the linguistics that I have learned in college. Thus, writing this blog would help me relearn what I have already forgotten, strengthen what I still remember, and implant what I am learning now.
I hope that you will learn something by reading my blog. Again, feel free to educate me in law, linguistics, or any other academic discipline.
Thank you for reading.
Sincerely,
A Chomsky and a Cardozo Wannabe
Thanks for the opportunity to express a question on both topics. Now do you feel that linguistics has been like a foundation for you to get the law degree?
The linguistics degree taught me how to parse sentences into smaller components and look for ambiguity. These skills are extremely important for me as I draft contracts for clients. I need to make sure that nothing I write can be interpreted differently than my client’s intention.
