2 processes of communication | Language and Speech |
Process of communication | Encoding, transmitting and decoding |
Define speech | Dynamic neuro-muscular process of producing speech sounds for communications |
Define Language | System of abstract symbols and rule-governed structures, the specific conventions of which are learned |
Three major language components | Form, content and use |
Generally, what are form, content? | The linguistic elements that connect sounds and symbols with meaning |
Define Phonology | Rules that govern sounds and their combination |
Define Morphology | Rules that govern the internal organization of words |
Define Syntax | Rules that specify how words should be ordered to produce a variety of sentence types |
Content | Maps the knowledge about objects, events, people and the relationship among them |
Define Semantics | The rules that deal with words, their meanings and the links that bind them |
Define Pragmatics | Rules that govern the reason(s) for communicating as well as the rules that govern the choice of codes to be used when communicating |
Central Nervous system consists of what 2 parts of anatomy | The Brain and the spinal chord |
Define Neuron | Basic structural unit of the nervous system by which impulses are received, transmitted and processed |
What does the Axon do? | It transmits information away from the cell body |
What does a Dendrite do? | It receives impulses from other cells and transmits to the cell body |
What is the Synapse? | The miniscule space between the axon and the dendrite |
What are the 2 components that determines how a language changed | Needs and Rules Governing |
How has language changed in my lifetime? | Technology, texting, abbreviations |
Speech is the... | Product of borrowed structures |
What are the two "borrowed structures" that allow us to communicate? | The Tongue and the Larynx |
Respiration | It provides power of speech |
Phonation | Voice generating portion of speech production |
Resonation | Process by which laryngeal tone is modified by nasal and oral cavity |
Articulation | Production of specific speech sounds by the lips, teeth and other oral structures |
Breathing for life is: | Involuntary and rhythmic |
Breathing for speech: | Increased control is needed and most of breathing process is devoted to exhalation |
Primary purpose of larynx | Protect trachea and lungs from food and other objects |
Articulation is primarily involved with the production of: | Consonants |
Articulators include: | Tongue, teeth, lips, alveolar ridge(hard palate), soft palate(velum) |
Nervous systems include | Central Nervous System and Peripheral Nervous System |
