Test 1 Flashcards
What components is language composed of
Phonology Morphology Syntax Semantics Pragmatics
rule system that governs the production and sequencing of speech sounds into syllables and words
Phonology
rule system that governs changes in word meaning at the intraword level
Morphology
component of language governed more in Spanish than in English
Morphology
Meaning of word can be changed through:
prefixes, suffixes, phoneme, puncuation, etc
rule system that governs the sequencing of words into phrases and sentences
Syntax
Word meaning
Semantics

The language you actually know and understand
Language competence

Competence
Theories of Language Acquisition
Behaivorist
Psycholinguistic/Syntactic
Consequences according to Skinner
Positive
Negative
Punishment
Who said there were three consequences (positive, negative, punishment) that govern behaivor
Skinner
Behaivorist theory is purely (nature, nurture, blended)
Nurture
Said all behaivor is learned
Skinner
Parent/child role in behaivorist theory
Parent: active
Child: passive
Limitations to behaivorist theory
- Parents are not good connected speech role models
- We do not actively teach all the vocabulary that a child acquires
- We only reinforce a small percentage of their utterances
- We are poor shapers of behavior
Why do we only reinforce a small percentage of child’s utterances
language happens too fast and you don’t have enough time to reward every utterance
Positives to behaivorist theory
It’s a great model for rehabilitation
Major component of psycholinguistic/syntactic theory
Chomsky
Chomsky’s hypothesis
Children are born with language (innate)
Parent/child’s role according to Chomsky
Parent: passive
Child: active
In Chomsky’s early worked he referred to babies as
“mini scientists”
Chomsky explained that it is a ____________ as to how language is used
neural process
Chomskys levels of linguistic processing
Deep structure
Surface structure
A sentence in its most simplistic form
Kernel sentence
Deep structure populated by
infinite number of kernel sentences
Kernel sentences live in
deep structure
