    Study Notes

    Purposes of Communication

    • Seven distinct purposes: instrumental, regulatory, interactional, personal, heuristic, imaginative, and informative.

    Language

    • A rule-governed, code-based tool shared by community members.

    Receptive Language

    • Includes reading, listening, and seeing (ASL).

    Expressive Language

    • Involves writing, speaking, and signing.

    Major Domains of Language

    • Comprises three areas: form, content, and use.

    Form

    • The combination of words, sentences, and sounds to convey information.

    Phonology (Form)

    • Governs the creation of syllables and words.

    Morphology (Form)

    • Rules pertaining to the internal structure of words.

    Syntax (Form)

    • Governs the internal organization of sentences.

    Content

    • Refers to the meaning behind language.

    Semantics (Content)

    • Rules that govern the meaning of words and their combinations.

    Use

    • The manner in which individuals meet personal and social needs through language.

    Pragmatics (Use)

    • Governs the social aspects of language use.

    Nativist Approach

    • Assumes that all languages share a fundamental structure.

    Wug Test

    • Demonstrates children applying grammatical rules to unknown words.

    Behavioral Approach

    • Views infants as "empty vessels" that learn language through input.

    Skinner's Theory

    • Children learn through imitation and environmental reinforcement.

    Chomsky's Theory

    • Suggests that with adequate input, the Language Acquisition Device (LAD) facilitates language learning.

    Piaget's Egocentric Speech

    • Describes speech without apparent purpose or social communication.

    Piaget's Cognitive and Language Development Stages

    • Sensorimotor Stage
    • Preoperational Stage
    • Concrete Operational Stage
    • Formal Operational Stage

    Vygotsky's Perspective

    • Believed language develops through social interactions; rehearsal aids in forming internal thoughts and concepts.

    Zone of Proximal Development (Vygotsky)

    • The optimal learning zone where tasks are challenging but achievable with support.
