Option 1

 * Article title
 * Code-switching


 * Article Evaluation
 * There is a lot of information but not many of the sections go into much depth. There is a ton of sources already. There is also quite a bit of conversation on the talk page. I think this page could be organized a bit better and some things could be removed. In the section about African American English there is an example from a trial in which the n-word is used. While it was used as an example of code-switching, the presence of that word puts me off and probably others as well.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Linguistic determinism


 * Article Evaluation
 * More information could be added to this article. Just from what we've talked about in class, I feel like more could be said about Steven Pinker.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Language acquisition


 * Article Evaluation
 * Some sources still need to be added for this article. Overall, it looks good but could be better. It talks about prelingual deafness but not post lingual deafness.
