Language Paper Lisa Draxler PSY/360 February 7, 2011 E.W.Newlin Abstract The primary focus of this paper is language and how it relates to cognition. This paper will define language and lexicon and provide the similarities and differences of each. This paper will evaluate the key features of language, describe the four levels of language structure and processing, and analyze the role of language processing in cognitive psychology. Language Paper Language in itself is a complex concept in itself. Language is defined to be a communication of thoughts and feelings through a system of random signals.
The phonological loop deals with auditory information and preserves the order of information. It is called the phonological loop because there is the articulacy loop which silently repeats words in order to remember them. There is also a phonological loop which holds words you hear. Meanwhile the visuo spatial sketchpad deals with visual and spatial information such as remembering a journey. Both these stores connect to the final store, the episodic buffer.
Following these sounds being blended together, an individual must heed to rules; for example, there are several consonants sounds which require a form by the atmosphere existing in an individual’s vocal cord stop consonants. Thirdly, the level of sentences in the English language. In the English language of sentences, there are several rules that apply to the construction of a sentence. In spite of the fact of sentence construction has been proven to be combined, and is important to the English language for the reason that rules are carried out and sometimes causes common mistakes such as word sentences that are run-ons. The fourth and last level relates to text in the English language, for the most part texting is related to a psychologist as nothing more than a group of related words linked to form of paragraph.
PO 5. Determine the meanings, pronunciations, syllabication, synonyms, antonyms, and parts of speech of words by using a variety of reference aids, including dictionaries, thesauri, glossaries, and CD-ROM and Internet when available. PO 6. Identify antonyms, synonyms, and homonyms for given words within text. Concept 5: Fluency: PO 1.
Language Carla M. Van Pelt University of Phoenix Psychology 360 March 5, 2014 Language Language is how we communicate through knowledge, behavior, and belief can be shared, explained, and experienced. Sharing is based on a conventional and systematic use of signs, gestures, sounds, or marks that have an understood meaning within a community, group, or culture. This paper will briefly explore, language, and lexicon, the key features of language, the four levels of language, and how language is cognitively processed. Language and Lexicon Language. Language can be defined as communication of thoughts and feelings through a system of arbitrary signals, such as voice sounds, or written symbols.
Module Code: 7PS501 Student ID: 100312804 A Task Analysis of the Cognitive Processes and Psychological Constructs Underpinning the Consecutive Use of Makaton Vocabulary Signs with Speech as a Communication Aid. Sign-language (SL) is a visual-gestural modality of linguistic communication predominantly used by those with or close to hearing or speech impediments. In deaf communities SL's, such as British Sign Language (BSL), are considered to be independent 'natural languages', sharing the same linguistic complexities as any spoken language. However, the use of signs or gestures used consecutively with spoken language serve a different purpose from that of SL, instead providing additional information to strengthen the communication outcome. Makaton Vocabulary (MV) uses signs/gestures and symbols as an aid to verbal communication (Walker, 1972).
First of all, we start to explain it from the relationship of Semantics and Phonology. Phonology is the study of how sounds are organized and used in natural languages. Every word in language has different meaning. But, some of the word in language, especially in English has the same sounds, so we as the speakers should be careful
By understanding we mean Processing and making sense of what people say Understanding words being spoken Understanding the rules of grammar used. By communication we mean the way in which language is used to interact with others, Using language in different ways to question, clarify, describe and debate. Using non-verbal rules of communication: listening, looking, and knowing how to take verbal turns and how to change language use to suit the situation. The ability to take into account other people’s perspectives, intentions and wider context. We need all three elements in order to get our messages across.
16. There are different types of grammar, descriptive grammar being one of them. List the other three types of grammar.’ Descriptive grammar Pedagogical grammar Prescriptive grammar Reference grammar 17. In your own words, explain the meaning of one of the types of grammar named in Question 16. A descriptive grammar looks at the way a language is actually used by its speakers and then attempts to analyse it and formulate rules about the structure.
The definition of language: “the means of human communication, consisting of the use of spoken or written words in a structure way.” Oxford English Dictionary (2006, pp.423) When looking at language in the wider sense of the word it relates to any means of communication a person may use to enable them to get their message across, this could be based on visual as well as audio for example sign language, body language and/or written. Language is adaptable; the type of language and the way in which we use it generally varies depending on our surroundings, our environment and who we may be communicating that language to. Power is very often usually demonstrated and achieved through language; people often use this power in the way they communicate to enable the receiver to understand quite clearly the power relationship between the two, for example the way in which a teacher would speak to their pupils would illustrate the power of responsibility the teacher has other them. The New Fontana Dictionary of Modern Thought (1999) describes power as; “The ability of its holders to exact compliance or obedience of other individuals to their will” This suggests that the persons in possession of the power is in some way in a position to exert the dominance of their ideas and as a response is then able to coerce the others involved to obey and then respond. The idea of ‘will’ which relates to the persons on the receiving end who often finds themselves in the opposite position or finds themselves in a position where they feel that they may not have much choice in the matter, signifies the role of power.
