Please list articles that you're considering for your Wikipedia assignment below. Begin to critique these articles and find relevant sources.

Option 1

 * Article title
 * Slang


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article has a small lead and could use more of an introduction. While the lead mentions what slang is, it does not do well to explain what else is mentioned in the article.


 * Sources
 * Wu, L., Morstatter, F. & Liu, H. SlangSD: building, expanding and using a sentiment dictionary of slang words for short-text sentiment classification. Lang Resources & Evaluation 52, 839–852 (2018). https://doi.org/10.1007/s10579-018-9416-0

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Word grammar


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article at the moment really only appears to be a paragraph blurb about what word grammar is. It could be enhanced with examples.


 * Sources
 * Hudson, R. A., & Van Langendonck, W.Word grammar. LINGUISTIC THEORY AND GRAMMATICAL DESCRIPTION, droste, flip G., & joseph, john E. eds], amsterdam, the netherlands: John benjamins publishing company, 1991, pp 307-335 Retrieved from https://go.libproxy.wakehealth.edu/login?url=https://www.proquest.com/docview/85551506?accountid=14868

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Mute English


 * Article Evaluation
 * While the article does some work to show what Mute English is, it does not really mention why it occurs. The article could fix this by having a better explanation as to why someone may use Mute English.


 * Sources
 * He, D. (2013). What makes learners anxious while speaking english: A comparative study of the perceptions held by university students and teachers in china. Educational Studies, 39(3), 338-350.

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Latinism


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article goes in depth with explaining what Latinism is. There are plenty of missed opportunities to provide examples of what a Latinism may be.


 * Sources
 * Nordahl, H. (1980). A syntactic latinism. Neuphilologische Mitteilungen, 81(2), 197-200. Retrieved from https://go.libproxy.wakehealth.edu/login?url=https://www.proquest.com/docview/58121508?accountid=14868

Option 5

 * Article title
 * Linguistic norm


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article is largely drawn from a singular article, leading to it possibly being unreliable. Beyond that, some of the word usage and general set up of the article cause confusion while trying to read it.
