Utterance

Along with the development of technology, computer-mediated communication (CMC) is becoming common practices in our social interaction. Unlike face-to-face conversation (FTF), these practices are unique because both production and reception footings only utilize verbal communication to perform an entire conversation. There are two different characteristics in which the utterances are transmitted in CMC. The first one is one-way transmission where the recipient is unaware of the process of creating the utterance (i.e. email conversation). The other is two-way transmission where the recipient can see the utterance as it is being typed. In this article, Anderson, et. al. study the nature of turn taking and conversation management in two-way transmission…

child and the context The subject of our mean length utterance study is A.N., a four year old Caucasian female. A.N. is the firstborn child in a family of four, living with both of her parents and a younger sister about 8 months old. Since she lives in a dormitory, as her parents are Resident Heads, she interacts with college students on a regular basis, which may contribute to accelerated language acquisition, in terms of her increased exposure to vocabulary. On the day of the study, A.N. was…

Constative utterances are used for propositions and may be true or false. Performative utterance is the kind of utterance when a person is doing something, but not only saying it. Utterances that express speaker’s intent are called locutions. The act of using utterances is illocutionary act. It is important for illocutionary acts to express true conditions and utter with conventional meaning. We should also mind hearer’s reaction to the speech act and illocutionary force of the utterance,…

S.S. is nonverbal and has oral motor production difficulty due to autism. S.S.’s speech intelligibility is 50%. She has difficulty coordinating movements of the articulators (lips, tongue, jaw, etc.) which leads to her poor intelligibility. S.S. does not have social speech and can use a few single word utterances. These utterances are primarily vowel-like vocalizations. S.S. has limited vocalizations and when she does vocalize, it is difficult to understand. S.S.’s speaking needs cannot be met…

Instead of handing Steven objects/food they may know he will want, they will have Steven use device during each activity at home to encourage Steven’s use of device and independence. Positive reinforcement and rewards will be given to Steven upon each successful initiation of requests. 3. Steven will practice CV utterances with phonemes in his repertoire to make his speech intelligible with 80% accuracy. Methods: The clinician will model for Steven CV utterances containing phonemes Steven…

the role of contexts and what is perceived to be (im)politeness by interactants are taken into account, the direct mapping of politeness linguistic strategies onto interactants’ utterances is no longer possible. Taking an example of these three utterances: (1) (a) Pass me the salt. (b) Could you please pass me the salt? (c) Would you be so kind as to pass me the salt? (Locher 2008) Depending on the context these sentences are uttered and also the relationship between interactants, any of these…

Monday: The clinician began the therapy session by giving CG opportunities to request for more bubbles. CG could verbally request for more bubbles with 50% accuracy. Also, the clinician would prompt CG to produce two word utterances such as big bubbles, blow bubbles, and pop bubbles. Additionally, the clinician utilized play dough to increase CG’s two to three word utterances and make requests regarding his wants and needs. CG production of two word utterances improved from 50% to 70%. CG’s…

/ch/, and /sh/ sounds at the beginning of words and the /ing/ at the ends of words. Overall, he has mastered the initial and ending consonant sounds pretty well based off of the experiences we have learned Tyrone uses a lot of grammatical morphemes in his oral language. During the first lesson he used a total of seven compared to the last lesson while only using three. This could be because the certain transcript that was chosen. Tyrone often uses present progressive, plural, possessive,…

Joyce Carol Oates also annunciates for a people whose stories are not often heard in her heart wrenching poem “Poetry is the Gnomic Utterance from Which the Soul Springs, Fluttering”. It tells of the power in which words can have. In Oates’ case, the power of what happen when we become a witness. Her poem relays the effects what we usually are not shown on the news; the reaction and the emotions that come with the baseless death of a child. The Black Lives Matter Movement has been largely…

performed utterances that have labels such as compliment, invitation, promise, apology, request and complaint. Ellis (1994) points out that interactional acts and speech acts are achieved by the speakers when utterances are performed in context. The former term refers to the management process in exchanging turns such as opening and closing conversations and the latter is the efforts of language learners to perform specific actions such as apologies, requests and complaints. Also, Yule (1996)…
