Q

System in which meanings are communicated through a pattern of movements generated by the speech mechanism and a measureable pattern of acoustic vibrations.
Requires very precise neuromuscular coordination.

Q

language

A

Socially shared code or conventional system for representing concepts through arbitrary symbols and rule-governed combinations of those symbols.
Language is arbitrary, creative and learned.
Languages evolve.
Primary vehicle for communication
Can be spoken or manual (American Sign Language)

Q

generative system

A

Language is a generative system-it is a creative/productive tool.
-Finite set of rules and symbols allow us to produce and infinite number of novel utterances.

-Words can refer to more than one thing
-Things can be called more than one name
-Words can be combined in a variety of ways

Q

BOUND MORPHEMES-

A

BOUND MORPHEMES-cannot stand alone and is always attached to a free morpheme

BOUND MORPHEMES can be attached by prefixes and suffixes
ie. Biggest (2 morphemes)-superlative morpheme means most
ie. Cooked (2 morphemes)- ed means past tense
Morphemes deal with numbers (ie. Cat/s)
ie. Joan’s (2 morphemes) –possessive morpheme

Q

Descriptive grammar

A

Description of actual patterns (syntactic system rules) used in speaking.
does not judge the appropriateness of grammar, but simply states the rules used to produce language.

27
Q

world knowledge

A

Refers to an individual’s auto biographical and experiential understanding and memory of particular events reflecting cultural and personal interpretations

28
Q

word knowledge

A

Verbal word and symbol definitions
Usually based on world knowledge

29
Q

concept development

A

VALIDITY
STATUS
ACCESSIBILITY

30
Q

linguistic competence

A

Knowledge of the rules for generating and understanding conventional linguistic forms- morphology, phonology etc.

31
Q

comminicative competence

A

Degree of success when communicating, measured by appropriateness of the message

32
Q

pragmatics

A

Social Rules of Language Knowledge of Social Appropriateness
*EYE CONTACT
*TURN TAKING
*TOPIC MAINTENANCE
*TOPIC INITIATION
*CONVERSATIONAL TURN-TAKING

33
Q

Paralinguistic Information/ Suprasegmentals-

A

It’s not only the words you say, but how they are said that can convey a message. It can change the form and meaning of the message. Without paralinguistic information added to a message, we would sound robotic when we speak.

34
Q

Nonlinguistic Information-

A

We utilize nonlinguistic cues, such as body language and facial expressions, which add to the “affect” that a person demonstrates

35
Q

Metalinguistic Cues-

A

ability to think about language, talk about it, and analyze it- use this in humor, sarcasm

36
Q

Intonation

A

Intonation- When we make a statement our intonation drops at the end of the sentence. When we ask a question, it rises. You can take the same exact words, and by changing the intonation at the end of the sentence, the meaning changes. Say

37
Q

NON-VERBAL COMMUNICATION

A

Eye Contact
•Facial Expressions
•Gestures
•Hearing Acuity
•Kinesics
•Proxemics
•Chronemics
•Tactile
•Artifacts

38
Q

Cultural identity

A

We are all members of a larger community that make up our cultural identity
•Speakers and Listeners who share a common language and culture have the capacity for “optimum” communication.
•Speakers and listeners must share competence in a common language if they are to communicate fully.

39
Q

Toddler language development

A

Focus of language is on language function: serves pragmatic purpose.
*First words occur at approximately 12- months of age
*Early language development is characterized by single word utterances and by early multiword combinations
•Primarily nouns
•Multiword utterances are rule based
•First words fill the intentions previously served by gestures and or vocalizations

40
Q

PRESCHOOL LANGUAGE development

A

By kindergarten has learned 90 percent of the syntax, morphology, and phonology that she will use as an adult
•New words are added to lexicon at the rate of two or three per day

41
Q

Preschool language development

A

Developmental focus on language form
•Language form follows function
•Paralinguistic information incorporated into utterances.
•Syntactic complexity increasing.

42
Q

School age development

A

Growth in all aspects of language
•Changes slower
•Emphasis on language shifts to written language
•Acquire derivational morphology
•Figurate language develops
•Increase in syntactic complexity
•Pragmatically-turn-taking for longer periods of time, topic changes less abrupt.

43
