![Page 3: Language by Mohammed, Mustafa and Mustafa](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022050911/56816455550346895dd621f4/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
LanguageOur spoken
written or gestured words and the way we combine them to communicate meaning.
Believe it or not, this communication is a form of language!!!

GrammarA system of
rules in a language that enables us to communicate and understand others.
![Page 7: Language by Mohammed, Mustafa and Mustafa](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022050911/56816455550346895dd621f4/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
SemanticsThe set of rules
by which we derive meaning in a language.
Adding ed at the end of words means past tense.
The Chinese languages do not have expansive semantic rules. They usually have totally different symbols for different tenses.
![Page 8: Language by Mohammed, Mustafa and Mustafa](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022050911/56816455550346895dd621f4/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
SyntaxThe rules for
combining words into grammatically sensible sentences.
In English, adjectives come before nouns, but not in Spanish!!
Is this the White House or the House of White?

Language developmentHow many words do you think you
know now?
Probably around 80,000.
After age 1 you average about 13 words a day.

Language Development Babbling Stage: starting at 3-4 months, the infant
makes spontaneous sounds. Not limited to the phonemes of the infant’s household language.
One-word stage: 1-2 years old, uses one word to communicate big meanings.
Two word stage: at age 2, uses two words to communicate meanings- called telegraphic speech.

How do we explain language development?
![Page 12: Language by Mohammed, Mustafa and Mustafa](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022050911/56816455550346895dd621f4/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Skinner
Skinner thought that we can explain language development through social learning theory (which is?).
The young boy imitates his dad, then gets a reward.

ChomskyInborn Universal Grammar
We acquire language too quickly for it to be learned.
We have this “learning box” inside our heads that enable us to learn any human language.

Does language influence our thinking?
![Page 15: Language by Mohammed, Mustafa and Mustafa](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022050911/56816455550346895dd621f4/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Whorf’s Linguistic Relativity The idea that language
determines the way we think (not vise versa).
• The Hopi tribe has no past tense in their language, so Whorf says they rarely think of the past.
![Page 16: Language by Mohammed, Mustafa and Mustafa](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022050911/56816455550346895dd621f4/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Do people that speak more than one language think differently
depending on their language at that time?
![Page 17: Language by Mohammed, Mustafa and Mustafa](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022050911/56816455550346895dd621f4/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Thinking without LanguageWe can think in words.But more often we think in
mental pictures.In 1977, Reggie Jackson hit 3 HR’s against the Dodgers. He has stated that before each at bat, he visualizes crushing a home run. Do you think visualization helps?
