Semantics

Toby is a bright boy who is able to converse in age-appropriate topics in addition to actively participating in classroom activities in his high-quality daycare center. His initial assessment and evaluation suggests a language impairment. This result seems to be in agreement with his current language abilities that are in the two-word utterances stage and a low-average score in his understanding of language. The family stressors (limited finances, traveling away for work and a family member…

Amnesia A slideshow of familiar faces and people; every frame associated with a particular smell, taste, emotion, or feeling. Our memories are foundational to each of our personalities and influence nearly every decision that is made throughout our days. A network of associates weigh the possible benefits and repercussions of every decision that could influence you in the future at supersonic speed, based on previous experience and recollection. So, how would someone without access to their own…

amnesias used today. 5 main classifications are anterograde, retrograde, infantile, transient global, and functional amnesia. Each will be defined and briefly discussed. Anterograde amnesia is “a severe loss of the ability to form new episodic and semantic memories” (Gluck, Mercado, Myers, 2014). It is the most noticeable amnesia present in patient H.M. Hippocampal region damage results in difficulty learning new information – especially episodic learning of events and facts (Gluck, Mercado,…

In addition to an Expressive/ Receptive Language Disorder, Amanda is also presenting with a Sensory Integration Disorder (SID), now commonly referred to Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD). Her symptoms include hyperarousal to visual and auditory stimuli. A Diagnosis of SID entails problems associated with the interpretation of any form of sensory input. A Difficulty processing normal sensory stimuli can affect the normal development of children and with certain degrees of severity relate to…

character: the frequency of certain sentence types (such as statements or questions), the predominance of active or passive forms, the use of parallelisms and antitheses, an abstract or concrete vocabulary, figurative speech, the emphasis on certain semantic groups and the frequency of idiomatic or clichéd expressions. Another aspect is the one that is concerned with the way in which the speeches of different characters interact. These relationships allow the…

the degree of retrograde memory loss is mild. Many patients are anxious or agitated and may repeatedly ask questions concerning transpiring events. Upon mental status examination, language function is preserved, which indicates a preservation of semantic and syntax memory. Attention is spared, visual-spatial skills are intact, and social skills are retained.…

Erving Goffman first defined Framing Theory in an essay titled “Frame Analysis” in 1974 in order to provide a context for understanding and interpreting information that enables people to define and label ideas. This theory helps communicators define the scope of a situation or argument and transmit meaning. The goal of framing is to focus the audience’s attention on a particular part of a message or aspect in order to achieve a specific reaction (Hallahan, 2008). Frames help define problems,…

The word paradigm has its etymological roots in Late Latin and Greek; the word paradigma means a pattern or example and paradeigma means pattern, precedent, or exemplar (Harper). Philosophers often credit Thomas Kuhn with popularizing the word as it is used in modern times—after the publication of Kuhn 's The Structure of Scientific Revolutions in 1962, the usage of paradigm in published works skyrocketed (Ngram Viewer-Paradigm). In Structure, Kuhn first introduces paradigms as achievements…

Poets of the twentieth century explored the implications of shifting uses of form that occurred over a period of one hundred years. Poems such as William Carlos Williams’ “The Red Wheelbarrow”, e.e. cummings’ “my sweet old etcetera”, Dereck Walcott’s “Parang”, bpNichol’s “Blues”, and Lawrence Ferlinghetti “Modern Poetry is Prose (But it is Saying Plenty)”, exemplify the multiple shifts that characterized the evolution of poetry throughout the 1900s. These authors use form as a means of embedding…

which conditions are necessary to learn semantic. However Dumay and Gaskell use different number of participants for three experiments, but all participants’ were native speakers of German. Additionally, the conditions of the vision of the participants change in each experiment. In addition, they did ach experiment with test a different purpose. Gaskell designed experiment 1 to examine how participants relation short time ago native word by lexico-semantic memory and how it could be affect…
