Dichotic Listening
- an experimental technique that has demonstrated a left hemisphere dominance for syllable and word processing.

The tip of the tongue phenomenon
- speakers generally have an accurate phonological outline of the word, can get the initial sound correct and mostly know the number of syllables in the word.
- mainly occurs with uncommon words and names.

Slips of the tongue
- sometimes called “spoonerism” after William Spooner- are often simply the result of a sound being carried over from one word to another

Slips of the ear
- this may provide some clues to how the brain tries to make sense of the auditory signal it receives

Aphasia
Serious Disorders in Brain Function
- an impairment of language function due to localized brain damage that leads to difficulty in understanding and / or producing linguistic forms

Broca’s Aphasia • also called ‘motor aphasia’• reduced amount of speech, distorted articulation and slow, often effortful speech• frequent omission of functional morphemes and inflections• often consists almost entirely of lexical morphemes

Conduction Aphasia
• individuals suffering from this disorder sometimes mispronounce words, but typically do not have articulation problems

When did you learn to
speak?
![Page 27: Language And Brain Development](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081502/555d00bbd8b42a08668b543e/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
First language Acquisition
Language acquisition is the study of the processes through which learners acquire language. By itself, language acquisition refers to first language acquisition, which studies infants' acquisition of their native language.
![Page 28: Language And Brain Development](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081502/555d00bbd8b42a08668b543e/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Caregiver speecha - a characteristically simplified
speech style adopted by someone who spends a lot of time interacting with a young child.- featured with the use of question, often using exaggerated intonation, extra loudness, and a slower tempo with longer pauses.
![Page 29: Language And Brain Development](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081502/555d00bbd8b42a08668b543e/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Cooing and Babbling
-the earliest use of speech-like sounds has been described as cooing; - create sounds similar to the consonants (k) and (g) and high vowels similar to (i) and (u)
![Page 30: Language And Brain Development](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081502/555d00bbd8b42a08668b543e/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
-between six and eight months, the child is able to produce a number of different vowels and consonants such as ba-ba-ba and ga-ga-ga which is described as babbling.
![Page 31: Language And Brain Development](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081502/555d00bbd8b42a08668b543e/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
One-word stage
- is characterized by speech in which single terms are uttered for everyday objects.
Example:milk cookiecat cupspoon
![Page 32: Language And Brain Development](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081502/555d00bbd8b42a08668b543e/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Two-word stage
- this can begin around eighteen to twenty months, as the child’s vocabulary moves beyond fifty words.Example: mommy come
daddy sitbaby eat
![Page 33: Language And Brain Development](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081502/555d00bbd8b42a08668b543e/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Telegraphic Speech
- characterized by strings of words in phrases or sentences
Example:
this shoe all wetcat drink milkdaddy go bye-bye
![Page 34: Language And Brain Development](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081502/555d00bbd8b42a08668b543e/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Developing morphology
By the time a child is two-and-a-half years old, he or she is incorporating some of the inflectional morphemes that indicate the grammatical function of the nouns and verbs.
![Page 35: Language And Brain Development](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081502/555d00bbd8b42a08668b543e/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Example:
cat sittingmommy reading bookfootsmansgoedcomed

Developing syntax
- young children are able to use syntactic structures on their own way.
![Page 37: Language And Brain Development](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081502/555d00bbd8b42a08668b543e/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Example:Adult: The owl who eats candy runs fast.Child: owl eat candy and he run fastAdult: I'm having this little one. Child: Me'll have that.

Developing semantics
One interesting feature of the young child’s semantics is the way certain lexical relations are treated.
![Page 39: Language And Brain Development](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081502/555d00bbd8b42a08668b543e/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Example:
Hyponymy
animal – dog – poodle plants – flowers – rose

I come it closer so it won’t fall.(bring it closer)
Mommy, can you stay this open?
(keep this open)
![Page 41: Language And Brain Development](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081502/555d00bbd8b42a08668b543e/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
When did you learn the English language?
![Page 42: Language And Brain Development](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081502/555d00bbd8b42a08668b543e/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Second Language Acquisition
- deals with acquisition of additional languages in both children and adults.
![Page 43: Language And Brain Development](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081502/555d00bbd8b42a08668b543e/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Acquisition vs. Learning(Krashen)
Acquisition is a process by which children unconsciously acquire their native language.
Learning is a conscious knowledge of a second language, knowing the rules, being aware of them, and being able to talk about them.
![Page 44: Language And Brain Development](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081502/555d00bbd8b42a08668b543e/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
ApproachesGrammar-translation methodVocabulary lists and sets of grammar rules are used to define the target of learning, memorization is encouraged, and written language rather than spoken language is emphasized.
![Page 45: Language And Brain Development](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081502/555d00bbd8b42a08668b543e/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
It involved a systematic presentation of the structures of the L2, moving from simple to the more complex, in the form of drills that the student had to repeat.
Audiolingual method
![Page 46: Language And Brain Development](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081502/555d00bbd8b42a08668b543e/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Communicative approaches- it’s partially a reaction against the artificiality of ‘pattern-practice.’
- it’s against the belief that consciously learning the grammar rules will necessarily result in an ability to use the language
![Page 47: Language And Brain Development](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081502/555d00bbd8b42a08668b543e/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Communicative Competence
- the general ability to use language accurately, appropriately, and flexibly.
![Page 48: Language And Brain Development](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081502/555d00bbd8b42a08668b543e/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Grammatical competence
Concentration on grammatical competence only, however, will not provide the learner with the ability to interpret or produce L2 expressions appropriately.
![Page 49: Language And Brain Development](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081502/555d00bbd8b42a08668b543e/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Sociolinguistic CompetenceThe ability to use appropriate
language.
Strategic CompetenceThe ability to organize a
message effectively and to compensate, via strategies, for any difficulties.

Applied Linguistics
- is an interdisciplinary field of study that identifies, investigates, and offers solutions to language-related real-life problems.
