🗑
How language contribute to study of mind   show
🗑
Mental representations →   show
🗑
To understand the mind →   show
🗑
Language “labels”   show
🗑
show provide insight into thinking, decision making, etc  
🗑
show sentence strucuture  
🗑
show meaning behind words  
🗑
show Language is created by the mind → gets expressed → returns to the mind to be understood  
🗑
show broken grammar/ speech  
🗑
show word salad w/ no structure/ this relationship is broken/ mix up of words  
🗑
show 1. Linguistics 2. Psycholinguistics  
🗑
Linguistics   show
🗑
show study of language as its learned + used - Language → shared symbolic system for communication - Language evolves/ always evolving  
🗑
Basic Units of Language (1)   show
🗑
show Phonology= study of combination of phonemes in a language (how they can combine) - EX: for “ough” → how many diff pronunciation (cough, through, tough, dough, ought, thought)  
🗑
show Morpheme= smallest unit of meaning  
🗑
show prefixes (re- means again) + suffixes (- ed means in the past) + articles (the) + conjunctions (and- connect words) + prepositions (of)  
🗑
Content morphemes   show
🗑
show Morphology= study of the combination of morphemes - EX: talked (ed- past) (talk- content) → 2 morphemes  
🗑
Basic Units of Language (5)   show
🗑
show Sentences= combination of phrases - Combine sentences= paragraphs - Combine paragraphs= book - Combine books= triology  
🗑
Universal of Lang (1)   show
🗑
show Semanticity= symbols become meaningful through use  
🗑
Universal of Lang (3)   show
🗑
Prescriptive rules   show
🗑
show governing actual language use → psycholinguist  
🗑
Generative   show
🗑
show used to communicate/ share thoughts/ ideas (mental representations) → Language provides the labels of these mental representations  
🗑
show Learning a language → acquiring a set of behavioral dispositions (set of ways to behave) --> through OC  
🗑
Chomsky   show
🗑
show don’t need a stimulus (can say whatever pops into your head) → independent of the stimulus asked  
🗑

🗑

🗑
Arguments for Language Innateness 2   show
🗑
show simply learned/ induce by listening/ exposed to language all the time without being taught  
🗑
show Uniformity - Children acquire language through the SAME stages at approx. the SAME time → must be innately determined  
🗑
Arguments for Language Innateness 4   show
🗑
Arguments for Language Innateness 5   show
🗑
Arguments for Language Innateness 6   show
🗑
show Against “language universals” → too diverse; 5000-8000 languages - Universals cannot be independent of human culture → many cultures have diff labels for things (too diverse)  
🗑
show Against “poverty of stimuli proposal” - Considerable evidence parents DO provide constant feedback → may not explicitly say why, but extract rules implicitly + extract those rules on one’s own  
🗑
show Against “innateness” of UG through genes/ natural selection - Too short a time frame → evolution is slow process for enviro to select things for species to move forward  
🗑
show formal study of meaning of words, sentences, higher level discourse  
🗑
show try to define meaning, find self running in a circle - EX: Meaning: something that is signified  
🗑
show Symbols that are inherently empty  
🗑
show Words mean diff things in various complex contexts - EX: the diamond cut the glass (sharp) vs. the diamond reflected the sun (shiny)  
🗑
show Currently no good theory of grammar= no good theory of semantics - EX: The cop raised his hand, and the car stopped  
🗑
Language & Thoughts   show
🗑
show is a single product of thinking --> conceived in the mind  
🗑
Lexicalizaed   show
🗑
show words can be stringed together by grammar (conjugation of the verb)  
🗑
Eventdentially   show
🗑
Mentalese   show
🗑
Language FORMS ideas   show
🗑
Lingusitic Relativity Hypothesis (Sapir Whorf Hypothesis)   show
🗑
Weaker form (1)   show
🗑
show → language determines our perception of the world/ the language limits this perception (determine perception of the world) → language determines reality  
🗑
show linguistic relativity → language does NOT determine reality → OBJECTIVE reality exists → language only shapes/ influences how we perceive the world  
🗑
show (Sapir)- proposes that language only influences thoughts/ perception of reality  
🗑
Stronger form (2)   show

🗑
show pool of available attention - Filled by level of arousal → physiological activation - moderate arousal= best → too low (tired) or too high (anxious)  
🗑
show affect capacity → feed into it or decrease it - EX: enough sleep= increase attention, not enough sleep= decrease attention  
🗑
Miscellaneous manifestations   show
🗑
Allocation Policy   show
