This is the Gravity Auto Area in Eugene, and it is located at West 11th Avenue. It is a Chinese car shop which the owner is Chinese. The name of the shop is above the door which says “聚点车行”. These characters are in simplified Chinese. “聚” means gather, “点” means point, “车” means car and “行” means shop. It shows that Chinese characters are logographic because each of the characters in the pictures has one meaning and it makes a new phrase when they are combined. Chinese writing is used here because the owner of the shop is from China, and there is a lot of Chinese students in Eugene. So this car shop mostly serves all the Chinese students that live in Eugene.
I only have a little bit questions of what we covered which is the morphological typology for Korean, Japanese, and Chinese. It is kind of confusing. I feel like I learn a lot and engaging with the materials when I am reading the materials for the quiz. When I am confused about something in class, I will spend more time reading the materials on canvas.
