CSD 1010 Exam 1 – Introduction to Communication Sciences and Disorders study guide and
exam preparation material
language - correct answer ✔✔socially shared code or conventional system for representing
concepts through the use of arbitrary symbols and rule-governed combinations of these
symbols
5 components of language - correct answer ✔✔phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics,
pragmatics
phonology - correct answer ✔✔phonemes are the smallest meaningful units of speech sound
combined in specific ways to form language units known as words
morphology - correct answer ✔✔morphemes are the smallest unit of grammar, allows us to
modify the meaning of words
syntax - correct answer ✔✔rules that govern the form or structure of a sentence & specify word
order, sentence organization, relationships between words & word classes
semantics - correct answer ✔✔meaning of words or the relationship of language form to
objects, events, and relationship with words and word combinations - includes figurative
language and idioms
pragmatics - correct answer ✔✔the social rules of language - includes organization like turn
taking, eye contact, coherence, repairing and code switching. Different between cultures
kinesics - correct answer ✔✔how we move our bodies, including body movement, positions
and gestures
proxemics - correct answer ✔✔physical distance between two people
, tactiles - correct answer ✔✔touching behavior
chronemics - correct answer ✔✔effect of time
speech components - correct answer ✔✔voice quality, stress, rate/rhythm, intonation
voice quality - correct answer ✔✔usually clear with appropriate pitch and loudness but can be
changed to convey different meaning
stress - correct answer ✔✔placing stress on different syllables to change meaning
rate/rhythm - correct answer ✔✔often referred to as "prosody" - should be relatively smooth &
fluent
intonation - correct answer ✔✔pitch movement within an utterance
four systems used in speech production - correct answer ✔✔respiratory, phonatory, resonating
& articulatory
structure of respiratory system includes - correct answer ✔✔trachea, lungs, bronchi,
bronchioles, alveoli & diaphragm
inhalation anatomy - correct answer ✔✔-external intercostal muscles help increase the size of
the thoracic cavity
-internal intercostal muscles help control the descent of the ribcage
-pectoralis minor, serratus anterior muscle, costal elevators, sternocleidomastoid and scalene
muscles assist in ribcage elevation
