26
Q

Informative

A

Used to provide an organized description of an event or object

27
Q

Form

A

is how words, sentences, and sounds are organized and arranged to convey content.

  • phonology
  • morphology
  • syntax
28
Q

content

A

which refers to the meaning of language—the words used and the meaning behind them.

29
Q

lexicon

A

we select and organize words to express our ideas or to understand what other individuals are saying.

30
Q

Use

A

pertains to how people draw on language functionally to meet personal and social needs.

31
Q

Phonology

A

form

- refers to the rules of language governing the sounds that make syllables and words.

32
Q

Allophones

A

subtle variations of phonemes that occur as a result of contex-tual influences on how phonemes are produced in different words.

33
Q

phonotactics

A

each language has rules governing how sounds are organized in words,

34
Q

Morphology

A

form

- pertains to the rules of language governing the inter-nal organization of words.

35
Q

A

from

- refers to the rules of language governing the internal organi-zation of sentences.

36
Q

semantics

A

content

- refers to the rules of language governing the meaning of individual words and word combinations.

37

  • the rules governing language use for social purposes, and is a synonym for the term social communication.

38
Q

acquisition rate

A

children acquire the complexities of language at a seemingly miraculous rate:

39
Q

critical period/sensitive period

A

The years of early language acquisition, from birth to about puberty for language development,

40
Q

universality

A

suggests all persons around the world apply the same cognitive infrastructure to the task of learning language, and that this cognitive infrastructure is particularly suited to the task of developing sym-bolic representations for objects and actions

41
Q

species specificity

A

Language is strictly a human capacity

42
Q

semanticity or, alternatively, displacement.

A

Human language allows people to represent events that are decontextualized, or removed from the present—to share what happened before this moment or what may happen after this moment.

43
Q

Productivity

A

the combina-tion of a small number of discrete units into seemingly infinite novel creations.
humans use a relatively small number of words and with them, can create an infinite variety of new sentences, most of which no one has ever heard.

44
Q

Language difference

A

the variability among lan-guage users.
children have differences in the the number of words they understand, the length of their sentences, the types of words they use, and the way they share language with other people during conver-sation.

45
Q

Dialects

A

the natural variations of a language that evolve within specific cultural or geographic boundaries.

many children in the United States learn a single language (monolin-gualism), others acquire two or more languages
1/5 of americans

children acquire their two languages concur-rently

48
Q

sequential bilingualism

A

children develop one language initially, then acquire a second language later

Gender

that girls have an advantage over boys in lan-guage development. Girls usually begin talking earlier than boys do and develop their vocabulary at a faster rate than boys do in the early years of life
-boys are more likely to have significant difficulties with language development, or language impairment

50
Q

Language-Learning Environment

A

in which children are reared exerts consider-able influence on their language development.
- characteristics of the language to which children are exposed in their promi-nent caregiving environments (home, preschool, etc.) contribute to the variability in children’s language development.

51
Q

Quantity

A

refers to the sheer amount of language a child experiences.

52
Q

Quality

A

refers to the characteristics of the language spoken in the child’s caregiving environment:

53
Q

responsiveness

A

promptness, contingency, and ap-propriateness of caregiver responses to children’s bids for communication through words or other means

54
Q

heritable language impairment

A

exhibit depressed language abil-ities, typically with no other concomitant impairment of intellect

55
Q

specific language impairment (SLI),

A

the most common type of communication impairment affecting children.
7-10% have it
SLI is a heritable condition,

56
Q

intellectual disability

A

Down syn-drome, which is due to a chromosomal anomaly during the initial stages of fetal development.
