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

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
Left Hemisphere
The hemisphere of the brain used for speech, language, and motor functioning
Medical Model
The model of disability where the goal is to help the PWD “overcome obstacles and barriers.” The focus is on the PWD. It ignores the role of society in creating these barriers and reduces people to defective body parts putting the PWD in a position to be a passive recipient to information, care, etc.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (PL 101-336)
- This federal law helped to provide the use of interpreters, sign language, and telecommunications devices for the deaf (TDDs)
- This federal law mandated improved access for individuals with handicaps to building and facilities
Fricative
A sound formed by forcing the air stream through a narrow opening between articulators: lips, tongue-alveolar ridge, and tongue and hard palate
Examples: /f/, /v/, /s/, /z/
Utterance
A unit of vocal expression proceeded and followed by a silence or pause
Velopharyngeal Closure
The upward and downward movement of the soft palate that closes off the nasal cavity
Overbite
Class 2 malocclusion
Pragmatics
The rules governing the use of language ins social situations
Phonation
The vibration of air passing through the two vocal folds that produces sound used for speech
Aphonia
A complete loss of voice
Lexicon
A child’s expressive vocabulary
Handicap
- A loss or limitation of opportunities to take part in the life of a community
- Participation Barrier
Mean Length of Utterance (MLU)
The average number of morphemes in a young child’s individual utterances
Nativistic Theory
A perspective on language development that emphasizes the acquisition of language as an innate, physiologically determined, and genetically transmitted phenomenon
Affricate
A stop-plosive that releases into a fricative
Phonology
The study of speech sounds
Trachea
The anatomical name for “wind pipe”
Stimulability
The evaluation of a child’s ability to produce a correct sound in imitation after the clinician models the sound for the child
S.O.D.A.
- Substitution (w for r)
- Omission (k-on instead of crayon)
- Distortion (lisp)
- Addition (animamal)
Discourse
Extended verbal exchange on a topic
Communicative Competence
Knowledge of phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics
Idiopathic
Unknown etiology (cause)
Childhood apraxia of speech
A disorder that involves disruptions in planning, sequencing, coordinating, and initiating movements of the articulators
Neuron
The basic cell of the nervous system
Behavioral theory
- Perspective of language development that asserts that speech and language are behaviors learned through operant conditioning
- Nurture
- Environment through S+R+C
Dialect
A specific form of speech and language used in a geographical region that differs significantly from the standard of a larger language community in pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, etc.
Phonation
The speech process that involves the vocal folds vibrating making sound
Organic Disorder
An inability tot correctly produce standard speech sounds because of anatomical, physiological, or neurological causes
Occipital
The lobe of the brain responsible for visual processing
Babbling
A baby saying “ba-ba”
Input system
Hearing:
- outer ear
- middle ear
- inner ear
Deglutition
Term for “swallowing”
Final Consonant Deletion
The phonological process a child is using if he says “ca” rather than “cat”
Auditory
Saying “hi, how are you” uses that as a communication modality
Etiology
The cause of a medical problem
Alveolar Sacs
Where the gas exchange takes place in respiration

Anatomical name for “voice box”
Vocal play
When a child says something like “baa-da-gi-daa-um-ma”
Disability
- Activity Barrier
- inability to perform activities of daily living
Generalization
The transfer of learning from on environment to another environment
Language Delay
An abnormal slowness in developing language skills
Nasal
A sound resulting from the closing of the oral cavity, preventing air from escaping through the mouth, with a lowered position of the soft palate and a free passage of air through the nose
Cognition
Act or process of thinking or learning
Cerebral Palsy
A developmental neuromotor disorder caused by damage to the central nervous system before, during, or shortly after birth
Language Disorder
An impairment of receptive and/or expressive linguistic symbols

Voice
The distinctive feature that refers to a sound produced either with the vocal folds vibrating or not vibrating
Questions to determine if a person has a communication disorder
1) Does the communication issue deviate significantly from the communication of other people and draw attention to itself?
2) Does it interfere with daily communication in some way?
3) Does it handicap them, causing them distress?
Language difference
Variations in speech and language that are a result of a person’s cultural, linguistic or social environments
Social Model
The model of disability where the goal is to remove the barriers from the PWD. It places the focus on society saying that disabilities are societal problems. Problem is that the PWD is not responsible to “overcome” their challenges.
Manner
The way in which the air stream is modified as a result of the interaction of the articulators
Different Types of Communication
1) Intra personal: communication with yourself
2) Inter personal: communication between 2 people
3) Small group
4) Public: speech or lecture
5) Mass: media
Telegraphic Speech or Language
Condensed language in which only the essential words are used, such as nouns, verbs, and adjectives
Manner
The way in which the air stream is modified as a result of the interaction of the articulators; direction of the air flow or the degree of narrowing of the vocal tract by the articulators in the various places
Output System
Speech
- Respiratory system: lungs; provide power
- Phonatory system: larynx; provides tone
- Articulatory system: lips, tongue; provides speech sounds
