Basic Elements of Language Language Symbols (such as words) Grammar (set of rules for combining those symbols)

Structure Phonemes The smallest unit of sound that affects the meaning of speech – Number of phonemes in world’s languages varies from 13 (Hawaiian) to over 60 (Hindi) – English has about 40 » Same letter can represent multiple phonemes (i.e. letter “a” in cake vs. cat) Morphemes The smallest unit of language that has meaning – (i.e. Relearned → Re-, learn, -ed) Words Unit of language composed of one or more morphemes Phrases Sentences Grammar

Structure Grammar – Syntax Rules that govern the formation of phrases and sentences in a language (i.e. placement of nouns, adjectives, etc.) » Snows sudden floods melting cause. » Melting snows cause sudden floods. – Semantics Rules governing the meaning of words and sentences » Rapid bouquets deter sudden neighbors (Because uses words combined in proper syntax, it sounds right, but recognize it as nonsense because of semantics)

Development Babbling Stage – Infants of all nationalities begin with same babbling sounds By 9-10 months, begins to resemble native language – lose ability to make or distinguish certain sounds from other languages One-Word Stage – Stage where children tend to use one word at a time (~12-18 mo.) After this period, vocabulary begins expanding rapidly Two-Word Stage – Stage where children speak mostly with two word sentences (~2y.o.) “Telegraphic” Speech - mostly nouns & verbs, typically follows syntax By about 5 yrs, have acquired most of grammatical rules

Language Acquisition Theories Operant Conditioning (Skinner) – Learning comes from reinforcement and modeling But, it seems not all language behavior in children could be explain by this – learn too much, too fast and many phrases that are never conditioned/modeled Inborn Universal Grammar (Chomsky) – We all come “pre-wired” (nature) with a “language acquisition device” to use language (all languages in world are variations of similar components) – exposure allows it to develop (nurture) – “Critical Period”
