material
Define: Language - ANS ✔✔a complex and dynamic system of conventional symbols used for
thought and expression
- receptive and expressive
Define: Speech - ANS ✔✔the articulation and the rate of speech sounds and quality of an
individual's voice
Define: Communication - ANS ✔✔includes symbolic and non-symbolic info (i.e., facial
expressions, body language, gestures, etc)
What are the agreed upon aspects of language? - ANS ✔✔1. Communicates - exchange of ideas,
feelings
2. Shared code - agreed upon
3. Rule governed - systematic
4. Generative - combine symbols in new ways
5. Creative - dynamic
What are the four elements of communication? - ANS ✔✔1. a sender of the message

3. a shared intent to communicate (cognitive, social, physical, linguistic, nonlinguistic)
4. shared means of communication
Define: language disorder - ANS ✔✔-impaired comprehension and/or use of spoken, written,
and/or other symbolic systems
, -can represent a deficit in receptive or expressive language, or a combined expressive-receptive
deficit
-8-12% of preschool children have this
What are the levels of the speech chain model? - ANS ✔✔Level 1 --> the acoustic level of
communicative function
Level 2 --> the internal physical/motor system required for communication
Level 3 --> the linguistic component of communication (primary focus)
What is "form" in respect to language? - ANS ✔✔Syntax
Morphology
Phonology
What is "use" in respect to language? - ANS ✔✔Pragmatics
What is "content" in respect to language? - ANS ✔✔Semantics
What are the clinical implications for cognitive theory? - ANS ✔✔framework and principles used
to evaluate cognitive skills and level of representational thought
Who thinks this? "Language AFFECTS cognition" - ANS ✔✔Whorf
Who thinks this? "Cognition PRECEDES language" - ANS ✔✔Piaget
Who thinks this? "Cognition and language are INTERDEPENDENT" - ANS ✔✔Vygotsky
Who thinks this? "cognition and language develop INDEPENDENTLY" - ANS ✔✔Pinker
