Language Development Exam 1
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Linguistic modes | Speaking and listening-Expressive and receptive.. Writing and reading- expressive and receptive.. Signing |
Language | Part Of Communication |
Term we use to describe how a group exchanges information, ideas, needs and wants.... and Linguistic and Extra linguistic components (BIG PICTURE) | Communication |
Speaking and Listening | Expressive and receptive |
Writing and Reading | Expressive and Receptive |
Signing | Linguistic mode |
Extralinguistic | Paralinguistic, Metalinguistic, Nonlinguistic |
Paralinguistic | Intonation, stress, rate, emotion |
Metalinguistic | ability to think and talk about language ability to judge language correctness and appropriateness |
Nonlinguistic | gestures, facial expression, proximity |
multifaceted and highly complex phenomenon utilizing several systems and modalities | Language |
Basic systems that underlie language | biological, cognitive, social |
Three components of language with five parameters | form, content, use |
Form | Phonology, morphology, syntax |
Content | semantic |
Use | pragmatic |
Phonology | Study of speech sounds of languages |
Phoneme | smallest linguistic unit of sound that signals a difference in meaning |
English has how many phonemes | 43 |
Allophones | Same phoneme that differs slightly |
Phonological Rules | Determine what sounds are used and in what sequence |
Morphology | Internal organization of words.. Words consist of one ore more morphemes |
Morpheme | smallest grammatical unit which cannot be separated from the word without changing the meaning of the word |
Free Morpheme | can stand alone with meaning |
Bound Morpheme | Must be attached to a free morpheme or other bound morphemes |
Derivational | Prefixes and suffixes |
Inflectional | Plural s, possessive 's, ing, ed |
Syntax | Organizational rules that determine word order, sentence organization and word relationships... how we sequence words in sentences |
Semantics | System of language with rules governing the meaning or content of words or grammatical units.. Vocabulary |
World Knowledge | Individual's autobiographical and experiential understanding and memory of particular events which includes the cultural interpretation of this knowledge |
Word Knowledge | Word and symbol definitions based on an individual's world knowledge |
Pragmatics | How we use language, register, social interaction rules |
Code used in communication | Language |
Nature | Biological |
Nurture | Enviorment |
Behavior Theory | Mowrer, Skinner, Osgood... Behaviorist Theory-nuture.... Language is a subset of learned behaviors... operant conditioning |
Language is based on | Modeling, imitation, practice, reinforcement |
Emphasis on the form of language | Grammatical structures |
Psycholinguistic Theory | Generative or Nativist-nature. Emphasis on language form. Innate capacity for language. Biological basis for language. |
Linguistic Universalas (features) | Linguistic processing occurs on 2 levels |
Phrase Structure Rules | Universal |
Transformational Rules | Not Universal |
Constituents | Noun and verb phrases |
Languages have a finites set of | rules |
Two-Tier mental model: | Deep and surface structure |
Language acquisition device | LAD... Contains universal underlying linguistic principles or phrase structure rules.... Enables each child to process incoming language |
Child language is not a... | mirror of adult language |
Deep structure | The idea/meaning |
Surface Structure | Syntactic structure that represents that meaning |
Semantic approach assumes that | content or meaning precedes language form |
Semanticists | assume that the common rules represent a general pattern of cognitive development, not innate structure.. that thought precedes language. |
Referential context | Underlying semantics and relationships, influences if not determines the word which can be used in any given position in an utterance/sentence |
Case Grammar | a generative system that can explain the influence of semantics on the syntactic structure and specifies the semantic relationships that determine that structure |
CASE | specific semantic function for certain noun phrases. only a limited number of nouns would be appropriate in a given structure |
Case Function | Marked by word order. form structure that provides a basis for syntax. |
7 Major universal cases | Agentive,Dative, Experiencer, Factitive, Instrumental, Locative, Objective |
Sociolinguistic concentrate on | Underlying reasons or social communicative functions of language |
Psycholinguistic Theory: A semantic/cognitive model | Modularity theory-nature. Only theory of language processing and semantics holds a strong impact in the structure of syntax and LD development |
Sociolinguistic Theory | Vygotsky-nurture. Does not focus on the structural aspects of language. centers on the communication unit required to convey meaning. |
Language USE | (Pragmatics) in communication is central to the linguistic process and to development of language |
Effective Communication | Motivation for language acquisition |
Speech-act theory | The speech act is a unit of communication that conveys the speakers conceptual representations and intentions. |
Intrapersonal function | Internal language is used for memory, problem solving and concept development. |
Interpersonal | function of langue is communication |
Speech Act | Linguistic unit that can be divided into two elements. |
Propositional Force | Conceptual content, meaning |
Illocutionary force | attitude or intention |
Dore (1974) | Primitive speech act. An utterance consisting formally of a single act or single prosodic sound. |
Nine Categories primitive speech act | labeling, repeating, answering, requesting, repeating, answering, requesting action, requesting answer, calling, greeting, pretesting and practicing |
Language acquisition is | Process of socialization |
Role of the child's communication partners is | Crucial |
adult operates as a provider | an expander and idealizer of utterances while interacting with the child |
Joint or shared reference is the achievement | Common referent |
Attention on a common object or event , with a sequence of behaviors such as eye contact, calling child's name, pointing, naming | social interaction |
the speech act or lack of greatly promotes or hinders language development | Attention |
Three Developmental stages of early communication | Perlocutionary, Illocutionary, Locutionary |
Perlocutionary | behaviors are undifferentiated |
Illocutionary | use of conventional gestures and vocalization |
locutionary | words convey intentions |
Two toddler generative systems | Segmentation and Topic-comment. Can occur at the same time |
Segmentation | utterances are generated regarding the situation activity |
Topic-Comment structure | the child establishes the topic, object or event and then provides information |
Emergentist Theory | Asserts that language is a function of the brains solution to exchanging a complicated set of meaning between people . Grammar is brains solution. |
Linguistic representations(cognitive processes) | Physical components of the brain, active in language processing. The manner in which its process information. and partners engage. |
EO: | overgeneralization errors He falled|fall[EO:fell] down. |
EW | Other word-level errors.That boy were[EW:was] jump/ing. |
EU | Utterance-level errors. Why this thing not work [EU] |
EV | verb error That boy were[EV:was] scared |
EP | Him[EP:he] is my friend Pronoun error |
EX | After that the dog that[EX] jump/ed out Extraneous word |
NSW | That thingie[NSW] is funny. Nonspecific word. |
