Form-
Content-
Use-
Phonology, Morphology, Syntax
Semantics
Pragmatics
Phonology
knowledge of sound system in language
phoneme
smallest meaningful unit of sound
phonological rules-
distributional rules vs sequential rules
distributional rules: determines which sound can be in what position- first or last of the word
Sequential : determines which letters can be combined- kst can't make a word
Morphology
Content and structure of words
morpheme
smallest meaningful of grammar
free morphemes
vs
bound morphemes
can exist on its own- dog, walk, happy
vs
can only exist attached to a free morpheme- ed, -s, -ing
Syntax
arrangement of words/phrases to create sentences in a language
- grammar of the language
What does Syntax involve
Word Order- adj before noun, noun before verb, SVO- subject verb object- i(S) want(v) cookies(O)

Sentence Organization- must have a noun and verb
simple vs complex sentence
simple- independent clause- i had to study
complex- independent clause followed by a dependent clause- i had to study BECAUSE i have a test tomorrow
Semantics
meaning of a word, a phrase, and a sentence

relationship between words and objects

words don't represent reality, but individual's concept of reality in a culture- common meaning of dog but all have individual meanings and experiences they think about
what makes up a word
physical or image referent- baby in a picture or person

meaning of the word doesn't come from sounds/letters that make up the word- the letters in chimp don't make it mean a primate, hairy, cute

meaning is not equal to referent- evening star, morning star- common physical object, not same meaning
Pragmatics

language use and the contexts in which it is used

language is not abstract- depends on the social situation- talk to professor differently than friend- different words or speed
conversation rules

the "role" you play (professor vs casual)

conveying and understanding the communication intention

being able to maintain/appropriately end the condo
speech error
transpose individual sounds (change places of letters)
cog vs dog- phonological neighbors and sound alike - can mix it up when speaking
Syntax Semantics Relationship
Colorless green ideas sleep furiously
good syntax- violates semantics- no meaning

there is independence of form and semantics
Discourse
sentences combined in a meaningful way- convos, narratives, gists of stories
Phonology- individual sounds
morphology- word forms
syntax- grammar rules
semantics- meanings of words/sentences
pragmatics- use of language-talking
