linguistic competence Flashcards
linguistic competence
It is a person’s innate way of being able to communicate and can create messages that have never been heard before.
linguistic performance
It is the actual use that analyzes the language, it involves more components than the phonetic comprehension.
performance error
Mistakes made when learning a second language. The process of learning a second language is very similar to learning a first language.
speech communication chain
It is a process of spoken communication, the sounds are not produced separately, but are emitted one after the other, creating a chain.
speech communication chain steps
Involves the emission of signals with the intention of conveying a message. The receiver must decode the message and interpret it.
Give Feedback to the information that the sender receives about the effects that his message has had on the receiver and the degree of understanding of the message is checked.
For communication to be effective, not only must it reach the receiver, but the sender must understand the message.
noise
It is when the sender and receiver do not share the meaning of the message.
lexicon
Lexicon has several references in our language, all of them are associated with the language and its use.
mental grammar
Mental grammar is the generative grammar that is in the brain allowing the speaker to create an understandable language for others to understand.
language variation
Linguistic variation is the use of the language subject to historical, geographical, or sociocultural factors.
descriptive grammar
Descriptive grammar makes a more specific analysis of the elements that make up syntax, morphology, phonology, and semantics.
evidence that writing and language are not the same.
Language
An oral route is used to emit the message and the auditory one to receive the message.
Own terms and dialects are used.
Writing
To write and read we need the visual sense.
It is less dynamic than oral language because certain rules must be followed.
reasons some people believe writing to be superior to speech
The writing uses more colloquial language and respect for the reader.
The writer tends to delve into the details of what he wants to convey.
When writing, the author usually does not get emotionally involved, they have more coverage or space for reflection. While in a conversation there may be external agents that impede its flow or its purpose.
prescriptive grammar
Rules must be followed to use language correctly.
prescribe
It presents a series of rules and guidelines for using a specific language.
Charles Hockett’s nine design features (necessary for a communication system to be considered a language) (list)
Semanticity
mode of communication
Interchangeability
Cultural transmission
Arbitrariness
Discreteness
Displacement
Productivity
Pragmatic function
mode of communication
all languages produce a message through the voice and are received through the ear.
semanticity
Specific language signals represent specific meanings.
pragmatic function
The appropriate use that the speaker makes of language to communicate.
interchangeability
People can transmit and receive identical linguistic signals, they can reproduce any linguistic message they understand.
cultural transmission
Language is transmitted socially from one generation to the next.
arbitrariness
The relationship between the phonic sequence and the object
linguistic sign
It is made up of a signifier and a signified.
convention
It is a linguistic norm for a certain language, particularly for a standard language.
non-arbitrariness
When the characteristic of being arbitrary is pointed out to some concept, it means that the value of that concept is verified without being based on any related information.
iconic
System of representation both linguistic and visual.
onomatopoeia
It is the representation of a real sound.
conventionalized
That has been established by customs, tradition or accepted norms.
sound symbolism
Attempts to convey meaning through mime.
discreteness
Good sense and tact to speak.
displacement
When one language replaces another.
productivity
When new forms or words are produced.
modality
It is a specific form of native language, it is used in communities of speakers related to each other for cultural or geographical reasons.
myths about signed languages
Thinking that sign language impedes the development of oral language.
Understand everything by reading lips.
Sign Language is pure mime or pantomime.
It is not possible to represent abstract concepts in sign language.
differences between codes and languages
Codes
It is a set of signs
It is the encoding in which the message is transmitted from sender to receiver.
Languages
Language can be verbal or nonverbal language.
Language is when we have to communicate using linguistic signs.
