What does aphasia do?
Lose ability to produce and understand ordinary language.
The outcome for patients with aphasia?
Highly variable, recover far less of their language ability
Is it true that different brain areas control compression and speech production can be spared while the other is damaged?
True!
What is the recovery for aphasia?
It is better for language comprehension than production
What happens if we don’t have language
Cooperative endeavors would be difficult and acquistion of knowledge is impaired
What does language use rely on
Well-defined patterns in how individuals’ word are used and patterns in how words are put together into phrases
What is language hierarchical from high to lowest?
- Ideas intended by the speaker/listener derives from the input
- Sentences
- Morphemes
Phonemes
What is sentences?
Coherent sequences of words that express the speaker’s intended meaning. Composed of phrases which are words. A sequence of words that conforms to the rules of syntax and so has the right constituents in the right sequence.
What is morphemes
The smallest language units that carry meaning. Distinguish content or free morphemes (primary carriers of meaning) from function or bound morphemes (which specify the relations among words.

How is language organized?
Can combine and recombine to produce novel utterances. Assembling phonemes into brand-new morphemes or aseembling words into brand new phrases
T/F: All combinations are possible
False
Why are some sequences acceptable?
It is crucial for understanding of what language is
What happens if the airflow is interrupted and altered?
It can affect the vocal communication
What are the two muscular tissue called ?
Vocal folds/vocal cords despite not being cords. Rapidly open and close, producing a buzzing vibration
What is voicing?
One of the properties that distinuishes different categories of speech sounds. A sound is considered voiced if the vocal folds are vibrating while the sound is produced. If the vocal folds start vibrating sometime after the sound begins, the sound is considered unvoiced with a long voice onset time.
Is it true that you can produce a sound by narrowing the air passageway within the mouth? If so, how?
It is true by placing your tongue’s tip near the roof of your mouth behind your teeth making a s sound through the gap.
How can you make a sh and f sound?
If you place your tongue farther back in the mouth rushing the gap causes the desired sound. f sound: air rushed b/w bottom lip and top teeth.
How can we distinguish sounds?
- Manner of production
- Distinguish b/w sounds voiced proudced with the vocal folds vibrating and those are not.
What is manner of production?
The way in which a speaker momentarily obstructs the flow of air out of the lungs to produce a speech sound. Example: The airflow can be fully stopped for a moment, as in the t or b sound, or the air can continue to flow as in the pronunciation of f or v.
