Final Flashcards
Speech Articulation
the function of Broca’s Area
Semantics
the study of word meaning
Semantic-Cognitive Theory
1) Between but closer to nature
2) Innate brain structures through semantics
Parts of Language
1) Content
2) Form
a) phonology
b) morphology
c) syntax
3) Use
Morphology
the study of the structure of words
Phonological Process
a simplification of sounds that are difficult for children to produce in an adult manner
Reasons we communicate
1) Relate
2) Grow (learn)
3) Help
4) Persuade
5) Play
Cognates
/b/ and /p/ are examples of…
Communication
The process of exchanging information between parties through spoken, written or other symbols that affects relationships and behavior
Allophone
A slight variation in the way different people produce individual phonemes
Speech
The dynamic motor production of speech sounds through the combined process of respiration, phonation, resonation, fluency, prosody, and articulation
Social-Pragmatic Theory
1) Between, but closer to nurture
2) Social interaction through illocution
Receptive Language
How well a person understands what he/she says
Social-Pragmatic Theory
Perspective of language development that considers communication as the basic function of language
Processing System
Brain:
- primary auditory cortex
- language is in the brain
- Wernicke’s area: connects words to pictures
Language
A code whereby ideas about the world are expressed through a conventional system of arbitrary symbols for communication
Frontal
The lobe of the brain where Broca’s Area is located
Phonetics
The study of speech-sound production using IPA
Place
The location in the mouth where two articulators come together to produce specific sounds
Communication components
1) Speakers and Listeners
- encoding and decoding
- communication competence
2) Channels
- Auditory/ vocal
- visual
- olfactory (odors)
- tactile
3) Context
- physical
- cultural
- psychological
- temporal
4) “Noise”
- Physical
- Physiological
- Psychological
- Semantic
5) Messages
- verbal
- non-verbal
Stops
A sound made by building up air pressure in the mouth and then suddenly relating it, the air flow can be blocked momentarily by pressing the lips together or by pressing the tongue against either the gums or the soft palate
Examples: /p/, /b/, /t/, /d/, /k/, /g/
Temporal Lobe
The lobe of the brain important for auditory processing
Glide (semi-vowel)
A type of consonant that has a gradual change in an articulator position and a relative long production of sound
Examples: /w/, /j/
Impairment
- Function Barrier
- Body parts do not work as they typically should
