This article that I found is about place of articulation. I really liked this article because it shows the different areas that are active when they are produced in the vocal tract. It shows arrows and lines to help illustrate the action. This article is related to language because it deals with being able to produce sounds by the way they are articulated in our mouth. This article made me want to go and learn more about this topic because we know naturally how to say words but I didn't know what was happening in my mouth, it's very interesting.

Blog 5: Maxims of Conversation!

This video relates to the Chapter 4: The Meaning of Language because this videos shows the 4 principles of maxims of conversation. Maxims of conversation are conversational conventions that people appear to obey in verbal interactions. The video shows the maxim of truth, which states to not say what you believe to be false, the maxim of quantity which basically says to not make your contribution more or less informative than is required. The other two principles that it shows are the maxim of relation which states to be relevant and the last one which is the maxim of manner which deals with clarity. 

This video is really funny and relevant to the chapter and it helped me in understanding the different principles dealing with maxims of conversation with entertaining examples.

Just for fun, here's some examples of the maxims of conversations in a couple comics.
