| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Why are pathologists interested in language acquisition? | 1. need to know what is typical in order to recognize what is atypical. 2. typical developmental provides a guide as to what to teach and when to teach it. |
| Why are pathologists interested in language acquisition? | 3. gives an idea about the best way to assess and teach language. 4. allows better communication with adults and children. |
| Language: | socially shared code or conventional system for representing concepts through the use of arbitrary symbols and rule-governed combinations of those symbols. |
| Components of language: | meaning, form and use |
| Meaning: | semantics-the study of the meaning system of language |
| Form: | morphology, syntax and phonology |
| Morphology: | rules that govern the use of morphemes in a language |
| Syntax | rules for how to combine words into phrases and sentences and how to transform sentences into other sentences |
| Phonology | study of the sound system of language. The sounds the language uses, as well as the rules for their combination. |
| Use | pragmatics, sociolinguistics and social communication |
| Pragmatics: | the study of language in context used as a communication tool that is used to achieve social ends |
| Sociolinguistics: | an approach to the study of language variation and adaptation which considers the ways social constructs (class, gender, role, status, etc.) impact upon language |

| Performance: | any concrete act of talking or understanding language |
| Nature of language: | it is unique from other forms of communication and all languages share certain characteristics |
| The comparative method of historical linguistics: | makes it possible to compare a group of related languages and reconstruct a parent language |
| Properties of language: | Duality of patterning, productivity, displacement, semanticity |
| Displacement: | messages need not be tied to the immediate context |
| Productivity: | the capacity to say things that have never been said before |
| Duality of patterning: | the use of a finite set of elements, in various rearrangements, to convey an infinite set of messages- leads to displacement and productivity |
| Semanticity: | the ability to represent ideas, events, and objects symbolically |
