Language
|
complex cognitive system that serves as a socially shared code for representing concepts through the use of arbitrary words
- speaker and listener must have same arbitrary words/symbols to understand each other |
|
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- to communicate
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
|
turn taking
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 |

|
Prelinguistic Stage- 0 to 12-14 months
Perlocutionary Stage 4-5 months |
engaging in unintentional communication- cooing for no reason (parents treat as intentional but it's not)
parents and kids engage in anticipatory games- Peek a boo- learn patterns of language (turn taking) |
|
Prelinguistic Stage 0-12 to 14 months
Illocutionary stage 8-12 months |
-express his or her intent with gestures and vocalizations- wants something
-actions do not have an affect on others (still not communicating-unconvential communication) |
|
Babbling
|
6-8 months- bababa (reduplicative)
8-10- daga (variegated babbling)- more mature- closer to adult like |
|
Single Word Stage- 14 to 18-20 months
|
50 words common around 18 months
|
|
Single Word Stage 14- to 18-20 months
Locutionary Stage 14-20 months |
same intents expressed with WORDS rather than through nonverbal means like in the illocutionary stage
starts to use same sounds for same meanings- baba always for bottle simple words like ball, dog |
|
Single Word stage
Locutionary Stage 14-20 months Form, Content, Use |
Form: CV, VC, CVCV - ku for cookie, baba for bottle, up for up
Content- very general dog refers to all 4 legged furry animals ball- all round object Use- label, request, answer, greet, protest, inform |
|
Characteristics of first 50 words
|
children use same words to express different functions
children may say "dog" to refer to every 4 legged animal may think donald duck is THE duck; other ducks are not |
|
Expansion of Language- 20-36
word combos but not grammatical yet Two Word Stage- Telegraphic Speech |
daddy eat, throw ball
|
|
content (meaning) of utterances
|
agent action- mommy go
agent- object- daddy ball action object- blow balloon action locatio- come here |
|
combos can have different meanings
|
daddy eat- daddy is eating, daddy is going to eat, wants daddy to eat
|
|
Expansion of Language 20-36 months
Expanding Utterances- combining 2 word utterances |
no throw ball- no throw + throw ball
