11. Describe the basic structural units of language. All languages have the same basic structural units. Phonemes are the basic units of sound in a language. Morphemes are the elementary units of meaning; some (such as I) are words, but most are elements such as prefixes (anti-) or suffixes (-ing). Grammar is the system of rules that enable us to communicate and understand others. Semantics, which is part of grammar, is a set of rules for deriving meaning in a given language. Syntax, also part of grammar, is a set of rules for ordering words into sentences.

12. Trace the course of language acquisition from the babbling stage through the two word stage. At about 4 months of age, infants babble, making a wide range of sounds found in languages located all over the world. By about 10 months, their babbling contains only the sounds found in their household language. Around 12 months of age, babies speak on single words. This one-word stage evolves into two-word (telegraphic) utterances before their second birthday. Shortly after that, children begin speaking in full sentences. The timing of these stages varies a little from one child to another, but all children follow this sequence.

13. Summarize Whorf’s linguistic relativity (determinism) hypothesis, and comment on its standing in contemporary psychology. Although the linguistic relativity hypothesis suggested that language determines thought, it is more accurate to say that language influences thought. Words convey ideas, and research on people who are bilingual demonstrates that different languages embody different ways of thinking. Studies of the effects of the generic pronoun he show that subtle prejudices can be conveyed by the words we choose to express our everyday thoughts. Some evidence indicates that vocabulary enrichment, particularly immersion in bilingual education, can enhance thinking.

14. List 5 cognitive skills shared by the great apes and humans. Both humans and the great apes form concepts, display insight, use and create tools, transmit cultural innovations, and have a theory of mind (including the capacity for reasoning, self-recognition, empathy, imitation, and understanding another’s mind).
