The large majority of humankind is more or less fluent in 2 or even more languages. This raises the fundamental question how the
language network in the brain is organized such that the correct target language is selected at a particular occasion. Here we present particular
behavioral and functional magnetic resonance imaging data showing that bilingual processing leads to language conflict in the bilingual brain even when the bilinguals' task only required target language knowledge. This finding demonstrates that the bilingual brain cannot avoid language conflict, because words from the target and nontarget languages become automatically activated during
reading. Importantly, stimulus-based language conflict was found in brain regions in the LIPC associated with phonological and
semantic processing, whereas response-based language con whereas flict was only found in the pre-supplementary motor area/anterior
cingulate cortex when language conflict leads to response conflicts.
Index terms: event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging, interlingual homographs, lexical decision, pre-supplementary
motor area and anterior cingulated, response conflict.

A lawyer used ChatGPT to prepare a court filing. It went horribly awry.
A lawyer who relied on ChatGPT to prepare a court filing on behalf of a man suing an airline is now all too familiar with the artificial intelligence (AI) tool’s shortcomings — including its propensity to invent facts.
Roberto Mata sued Colombian airline Avianca last year, alleging that a metal food and beverage cart injured his knee on a flight to Kennedy International Airport in New York. When Avianca asked a Manhattan judge to dismiss the lawsuit based on the statute of limitations, his lawyer submitted a brief based on research done by ChatGPT.
While ChatGPT can be useful to professionals in numerous industries, including the legal profession, it has proved itself to be both limited and unreliable. In this case, the AI invented court cases that didn’t exist, and asserted that they were real. The fabrications were revealed when Avianca’s lawyers approached the case’s judge, saying they couldn’t locate the cases cited in Mata’s lawyers’ brief in legal databases.
“It seemed clear when we didn’t recognize any of the cases in their opposition brief that something was amiss,” said the airline’s lawyer. And soon they figured it was some sort of chatbot of some kind. On the other hand, the passenger’s lawyer said that it was the first time he’d used ChatGPT for work and, therefore, he was unaware of the possibility that its content could be false.

Based on the preceding text, judge the item that follow.
It is correct to infer from the text that, due to the lawyer’s expertise, he had used ChatGPT for work before.

TEXT 06
The (in)appropriate speaker model?
"Anyone working in the field of English as
a Lingua Franca (henceforth ELF) has to
face sooner rather than later a serious
contradiction: that despite the widespread
acceptance of the extensive role of English
as an international lingua franca and its
increasing number of functions in this
respect, there is still an almost equally
widespread resistance to this lingua franca’s
forms. Given the well-established
sociolinguistic fact that languages are
shaped by their users, and that nowadays
“native speakers are in a minority for
[English] language use” (Brumfit 2001, 116),
it would make sense for English language
teaching to move away from its almost
exclusive focus on native varieties of
English. This suggestion always meets,
however, with strong resistance from many
quarters, and this is particularly so in the
case of accent. The result is that two
particular native speaker English accents,
Received Pronunciation (RP) and General
American (GA), continue to command
special status around the English speaking
world including international/lingua franca
communication contexts where
sociolinguistic common sense indicates that
they are inappropriate and irrelevant."

We may take advantage of this pause in the narrative to make certain statements. Orlando had become a woman – there is no denying it. But in every other respect, Orlando remained precisely as he had been. The change of sex, though it altered their future, did nothing whatever to alter their identity. Their faces remained, as their portraits prove, practically the same. His memory – but in future we must, for convention's sake, say 'her' for 'his,' and 'she' for 'he' – her memory then, went back through all the events of her past life without encountering any obstacle. Some slight haziness there may have been, as if a few dark drops had fallen into the clear pool of memory; certain things had become a little dimmed; but that was all. The change seemed to have been accomplished painlessly and completely and in such a way that Orlando herself showed no surprise at it. Many people, taking this into account, and holding that such a change of sex is against nature, have been at great pains to prove that Orlando had always been a woman, that Orlando is at this moment a man. Let biologists and psychologists determine. It is enough for us to state the simple fact; Orlando was a man till the age of thirty; when he became a woman and
has remained so ever since.

The Research Assignment
Students today have access to so much information that they need to weigh the reliability of sources. Any resource – print, human, or electronic – used to support your research inquiry has to be evaluated for its credibility and reliability. In other words, you have to exercise some quality control over what you use. When you use the print and multimedia materials found in your college library, your evaluation task is not so complicated because librarians have already established the credibility and appropriateness of those materials for academic research. The marketplace forces publishers to be discriminating as well.
Data collected in interviews of persons whose reliability is not always clearly established should be carefully screened, especially if you present this material as expert opinion or as based on knowledge of your topic. And you may have even more difficulty establishing trustworthiness for electronic sources, especially Web and Internet sources.
Because the Internet and World Wide Web are easy to use and accessible, Web material is volatile – it changes, becomes outdated, or is deleted. Its lack of consistency and sometimes crude form make Web information suspect for people who use it for research. Because there is frequently no quality control over Web information, you must critically evaluate all the material you find there, text and graphics alike.
