25
Language performance
the actual production of languages
26
surface structure
the actual arrangement of words in a syntactic order
27
Deep structure
primarily holds the rules of sentence formation
28
transformation
is an operation that relates deep and surface structures and yields different forms of sentences. it is a process by which a speaker arranges and rearranges words to change sentences
29
Semantics
The study of meaning in language
30
referent theory of meaning
The meaning of a words is the object person or event to which it refers
31
content theory
structure or form of language has content which is its meaning
32
cognitive process
meaning is in the concepts we talk about

possession
understanding the semantic notion of "My"
34
nomination
simply naming objects
35
agent

speech act
every utterance is a speech act which means that utterances influence listeners
38
instrumental function
we try to get what we want
39
regulatory function
we try to get others to do what we want them to do
40
interactional function
we engage others in social interaction
41
verbal behavior (Skinner)
a form of social behavior maintained by the actions of a verbal community.
42
functional unit
a class or group of verbal responses that are produced under similar circumstances and receive similar consequences.
43
consequence
is what a listener or listeners say or do.
44
reinforcer
is an event that follows a response and makes that response more likely in the future
45
Punisher
is an event that follows a response and makes that response less likely in the future
46
verbal operants
they are different classes of verbal behaviors learned under specific conditions and produced under similarly specific conditions.
47
mand
a verbal operant of verbal behavior that is caused by deprivation or need. requests, commands and demands.
48
Tact
a group of verbal responses that describe and comment on the things and events around the speaker.
49
echoics
imitative verbal responses whose stimuli are the speech of another person.
50
Intraverbals
a group of verbal responses that are stimulated by the speaker's own prior verbal responses.
51
Much of our conversational speech consists of
tacts and intraverbals
52
Autoclitics
skinner's term for grammar and related responses | secondary verbal responses that help point out the causes of primary verbal responses.
53
Fluency
is easy smooth, flowing, and relatively effortless speech
54
Prosody
variations in rate, pitch, loudness, stress, intonation, and rhythm of continuous speech.
55
Hearing
is essential for normally acquired verbal communication. The biological mechanism of human hearing includes the ear, auditory nerve, and brain.
56
speech language pathology
is concerned with the study and understanding of human communication and its disorders, and assessment and treatment of those disorders.
57
Audiology
is concerned with the study and understanding of normal and disorders hearing, and the rehabilitation of individuals with hearing impairments.
58
Disordered speech
deviates from the speech of other persons, calls attention to itself, interferes with communication emphasizes deviancy from the normal and the problem it creates for effective communication.. Causes distress to both the speaker and listener.
59
Etiology
the study of causes of diseases and disorders | organic and functional.
60
organic disorders
caused by some defect in the neurophysiological mechanism of speech.
61
Functiona/ ideopathicl disorders
those that don't have a demonstrable organic or neurological cause. It is presumed that the orgin is faulty learning, environment, habits, emotional problems or other unknowns.
62
aphasia

63
congenital disorder
noticed at the time of birth or soon thereafter
64
acquired
a communicative disorder when there has been a period of normal communication.
65
Voice categories
Aphonia and dysphonia
66
Articulation categories
Phonological disorders and motor speech disorders
67
Language categories
morphological deficits syntactic deficits semantic deficits and pragmatic deficits.
68
Fluency categories
Cluttering and stuttering
69
Hearing categories
Conductive and sensorineural
70
Aphonia
a total loss of voice, a person with aphonia whispers to communicate
71
dysphonia
all other kinds of voice disorders and it may affect one or more aspects of voice.
72
vocal nodules

73
What are the most frequently treated disorders of communication in school aged children?
Articulation
74
Articulation disorder
When a person cannot correctly produce one or more of the phonemes of his or her language.
75
Phonological disorders
Errors of many phonemes that form patters or clusters
76
motor speech disorders
speech disorders in audlts, especially in those who have had normal speech are usually due to some neurological problem. The movement of the speech mechanism has been impaired due to nerve damage.
77
language disorders
Difficulties in the acquisition of language
78
telegraphic
child's sentences that are missing grammatical elements as articles, prepositions, and conjuctions
79
aphasia
a loss of language
80
cluttering

the sound transmission from the outer or middle ear to the inner ear is impaired.
83
otitis media
middle ear infection due to cold allergy and other reasons. A frequent cause of conductive hearing loss in children.
84
ostosclerosis
the tiny bones of the middle ear do not vibrate normally because of soft spongy growth on them. The sounds is not efficiently transmitted to the inner ear.
85
sensorineural hearing loss
the inner ear the auditory nerve that transmits sounds to the brain or both may be impaired
86
presbycusis
reduced hearing sensitivity of some older people also may be sensorineural.
