Chapter 1 Definitions Flashcards
is the process of exchanging information
through a speakers ideas, thoughts, feelings, needs, or desires
Communications
Involves the acquisition and use of
morphology, phonology, syntax and semantics.
Linguistic competence
in what way words and smaller units can be
combined to form other words (go+ing=going)
Morphology
In what way sounds are combined to form words:
(c+a +t=cat)
Phonology
the word combinations used to express meaning in
sentence structures. (I+ see + a + bird)
Syntax
In what way words correspond to things and events
in the word. (It’s raining), how language reflects a speaker’s
intent ( I want to tell you a story), or feelings (I’m feeling good
today).
Semantics
the ability to understand others. It is
understanding spoken language, also referred to as Auditory
Comprehension. It is the ability to understand language:
meanings, sentences, stories and conversation, concepts(color,
size, emotion and time) and directions.
Respective Language
the ability to express and share
thoughts, ideas and feelings. It is the ability to convey meaning
and thoughts through the production of words and sentences,
retelling of events and stories and engaging in conversation.
Expressive Language
they accompany spoken language, help the
listener better understand a speaker’s meaning.
Paralinguistic cues
Speech is the verbal means of communicating through articulation.
Speech and Articulation
Articulation is the production of speech sounds by movement of the
lips, tongue, and soft palate (velum).
Articulation
vocal folds vibrate to produce
phonation or voice
Articulation
sound produced by the vibration of the vocal folds
Phonation
the smallest units of sound that create a difference in
meaning.
Phonemes
is the part of language that is concerned with the
combination of speech sounds for word formation
Phonology
defined as the means for human communication
through the use of spoken words, written symbols, or sign
language.Language is a shared code that represents
concepts through the use of arbitrary symbols. W
Language
is also used to describe the nature of language: it describes
the speaker’s ability to generate many types of sentences. I.e. new
sentences produced by children when they don’t have the word they need
Generative
is the description of a language with respect to its
components: which are form, content and use.
Grammar
(Syntax, Morphology and Phonology)
Form
is the component of language that involves rules for
combining words to form a sentence
Syntax
