Response to April 28th's Oral Presentations

Collen's topic was very interesting. She really made it her own by researching something I had never thought of when it came to sign language; inflection. I though sign language was English grammar just with movements, but as it turns out it is a lot more difficult than that. It's an entirely different language. You don't even have any cognates to go off of (unless you count if some actions look like the words their representing).

Maggie's topic was interesting as well. Something I would suggest would be to describe the topic more, and maybe even make it more laymen's terms, because I did not understand everything that was said at first. Also the changing the language hypothetical scenario was very interesting.
