part 3 Flashcards
the way non human communicated without the use of words
non human communication
diverse or the linguistic diversity
language
uses to send information from one member to another by producing a sound
auditory communication
widely used in the animal kingdom
auditory communication
associated with the use of sound production and hearing
auditory communication
based on visible signals
visual communication
gestures and postures are the most commonly used in this communication
visual communication
said to be the most common form of animal communication
tactile communication
called a common form of animal communication due to mating reasons
tactile communication
also recognized as a form of social bonding, infant care, grooming, or showcase of dominance
tactile communication
form of animal communication where the animals leave behind pheromones in the environment for different reasons
chemical communication
can also be under the chemical communication, it is the use of smells to gain information from the environment
chemical communication
chemical substances produced and released by animals that affect the behavior of other animals of their own species
chemical communication
the team introduced her to a lexigram and she was able to distinguish many terms and symbols
the lana project
arbitrarily combine signs spontaneously and creatively
the washoe program
was raised in an environment as close as possible to that of a human child
washoe
koko’s use of signs indicated that she mastered the use of sign language
the koko project
made several complex uses of signs that suggested a more developed degree of cognition
the koko project
how animals communicate and each of them has a different type on how they communicate with one another
non human communication
a language as a rule governed system that will direct us to the correctness and proper way of utterances
grammar
a set of ingredients that makes up all human language
features of human language
perceived by hearing and the basic mode of communication by the vast majority makes use of sounds
vocal auditory channel
when a person stands in the middle of a room he can be heard by everyone assuming that he is speaking loudly enough
broadcast transmission and directional reception
speech waveforms fade rapidly which is why the human language signal does not persist over time
rapid fading (transitoriness)
possible when audio recorded or video recording or writing the message is don
rapid fading (transitoriness)
speaker can receive and send the same language signal
interchangeability
unlike traffic signs, which cannot monitor its function, we can hear ourselves while we speak
total feedback
each organ has its own specific function in speech
specialization
this means for every signal there is a corresponding meaning
semanticity
there is no necessary connection to the form and the thing assigned to
arbitrariness
basic speech units can be categorized and there is no gradual continuous shading from one sound to another in the linguistics system
discreteness
sometimes we speak about things in the past or future and out language allows us to do so
displacement
we can create never before heard utterances
productivity
requires effort because human language is not inborn
traditional transmission
this means that the discrete parts of a language can be combined in a systematic way to create new forms
the duality of patterning
the ability to recombine small units in different orders
the duality of patterning
drive the motivation for children to develop language and help a person to satisfy and address his/her physical, social and emotional needs
halliday’s language functions
getting things done and satisfying material needs
instrumental
influencing the behavior, feeling, attitude of others and includes the language of rules and instructions
regulatory
getting along with others and to include or exclude
interactional
expressing individually and personal feelings and making public his/her own individuality
personal
seeking and learning and using language to explore their environment and a way of learning about things
heuristic
creating stories, games and new worlds and not necessarily about anything at all. linguistic play including poems, rhymes and riddles
imaginative
conveying a message with specific reference to the processes, persons, objects, abstractions, qualities, states and relations of the real world around him/her
representational
This is based on the ideas that humans imitate the sounds of the animals call.
bow bow theory
This arose with the idea that people make instinctive sounds.
pooh pooh theory
This is based on the notion that people react to the world and make sound symbolism.
ding dong theory
This is based on the proof that humans create rhythmical grunts which later developed into chants to address physicat environmental needs.
yo he ho theory
The romantic side of human life is the sole factor that is responsible for the creation of language.
the la la theory
postulates in his theory that language was created from a genetic mutation from one of our human ancestors. This human ancestor developed the ability to speak and understand language and he passed this on to his offspring.
genetic mutation of chomsky
notion that people needed to find a more efficient form of grooming as communities began to grow larger.
vocal grooming of dubar
suggests that language developed from early humans- the mothers in particular.
putting the baby down hypothesis by dean falk
theory on the source of human speech is anchored on the natural sound of human cries. As humans express their feelings and are being understood by others the use of language began.
whitney’s origin of language
