Introduction

- Communicationactive and dynamic process of exchanging information and ideas,

needs, and desires between participants.

- Languagea complex and dynamic system of conventional symbols that is used in

various modes for thoughts and communication (ASHA)
A socially shared code that uses a conventional system of arbitrary symbols to
represent ideas about the world that are meaningful to others who know the same code
(Nelson)

There are three major dimensions, or components, of language:

CONTENT, FORM, AND USE. Content, form and use incorporate those five aspects
included in the ASHA explanation of language - syntax, morphology, phonology,
semantics, and pragmatics. those five components are the basic rule systems found in
language and the interaction of content, for and use must occur for normal language
development to occur. Content includes the semantic, or meaningful, aspect of
language; form includes the syntax, morphology, and phonology aspects; and use is
the pragmatic portion of language.

- Articulatory Phonetics How does the speaker produce speech sounds? How do
we classify and transcribe speech sounds?

- Acoustic Phonestics Physical properties of speech sounds while transmitted

through the air.Measurements such as:
Frequency (pitch)
Intensity (loudness)
Duration

- Auditory Phonetics How does the listener receive and perceive sound?
- PhonologyStructure and systematic patterning of sounds in a particular language.

Rules governing how the sounds of a language are organized

Which sounds are used in a language and how can we arrange them to be functional?

- Phonemesmallest linguistic unit that is able, when combined with other such units,
to establish word meanings and distinguish between them ex. dog vs. d, cat vs. c,
bow vs. boat

- AllophoneVariations of the phoneme used by various speakers in differing contexts

ex. mop vs. mo(p)

- MorphemeSmallest unit of semantic meaning (14 grammatical) ex. ing ending, en

ending

- GraphemeFundamental unit in written language (letter)

- OrthographyWriting system to write a language (spelling)
