Define the following terms:
1. design feature: are features that define our human languages, such as arbitrariness, duality, creativity, displacement, cultural transmission, etc.

4. emic: a term in contrast with etic which originates from American linguist Pike’s distinction of phonetics and phonemics. An emic set of speech acts and events must be one that is validated as meaningful via final resource to the native members of a speech communith rather than via qppeal to the investigator’s ingenuith or intuition alone.

170. validity: the degree to which a test meansures what it is meant to measure. There are four kinds of validity, i.e. content validity, construct validity, empirical valiodity, and face validity.
171. rebiability: can be defined as consistency. There are two kinds of reliability, i.e. stability reliability, and equiralence reliability.
172. hypercorrection: overuse of a standard linguistic features, in terms of both frequency, i.e. overpassing the speakers of higher social status, and overshooting the target, i.e. extending the use of a form inalinguistic environment where it is not expected to occur, For example, pronouncing ideas as[ai'dier],extending pronouncing post-vocalic[r] in an environment where it’s not supposed to occur.
