Language

symbolic, semantic, generative, structured
|
|
|
symbolic

sounds, words, gestures & symbols used to represent objects, events, actions & ideas (property of language)
|
|
|
Semantic
|
meaning symbols are meaningful & arbitrary (property of language)
|
|

generative

|
|
|

|
|
|
morphemes
|
the smallest units of meaning in a language, includes roots, prefixes, suffixes, tense
|
|
|
Surface structure
|
language structure including syntax
|
|
|
deep structure
|
structure in language including semantics
|
|
|
semantics

|
|

|
10-13 months
|
first word, uses words to refer to objects, babbling sounds narrow to phonemes in environment
|
|
|
12-18 months
|
one word sentences slow vocab growth, primarly using nouns, overextensions begin, receptive vocab higher than productive vocab
|
|
|
18-24 months
|
vocabulary spurt, fast mapping, increased articulation, up to 20 new words a week
|
