The Working Class and the Linguistics of Sports_ 

I wrote this assignment for my political science 379 course, which was about sports, politics, and society.  For the assignment we had to choose a topic that involved the combination of sports and culture.  One of the requirements was that we had to integrate all four of the sports that we had talked about at the time we had to do the paper.  I enjoy writing this paper because it allowed me to think about the way sports as an agent of language change, which is something I had never before considered.  If I could have had more time to work on this paper I would have liked to make it have more examples of the way that language was influenced by sports, however after my first draft I was told to have less examples by my GSI.  This paper is the epitome of how I try to bring the idea of language into many of my papers that I have to write.
