What is the core idea of Structuralism?
Language is a structured system governed by
universal rules, and its development follows predictable stages.
What is the paradigmatic mode?
It is a way of structuring
thought and communication that prioritizes logical
reasoning, abstraction, and categorization.
How do Children Acquire Communicative Competence?
Schools’ and peer's influence
Name the 5 groups that represent the different areas of study in CSD
1.Phonology
2.Morphology
3.Syntax
4.Semantics
5.Pragmatics
What are some "early" warning signs of Autism Spectrum Disorder?
Lack of responsiveness to name, Aberrant eye-gaze,
Restricted use of gestures
How would a functionalist approach to study how children use
language ?
Achieve goals, like requesting, expressing emotions, or asking questions.
What is phonological awareness important?
It lays down the foundation for reading and enhances listening and speaking skills
Other correct answers:
Supports Phonics
Improves Spelling and Writing
Identifies Reading Difficulties Early:
How do Children Acquire Communicative Competence?
Scripts which is the way we represent familiar events in
our memories
What is morphology?
the study of words and how they are formed
What are some treatments for Autism Spectrum Disorder?
Based off assumptions Intensive in scope and frequency, Family involvement, Focus on social and pragmatic aspect of communication, and Generalization
What emphasizes the internal structure of language? Must name all three
Phonology, Syntax, Semantics
What are graphemes and phonemes?
Phonemes are the smallest units of sound in a language and Graphemes are the smallest units of written language that represent phonemes.
When is Communicative Competence Difficult?
It can be difficult when someone struggles to use language effectively and appropriately in different social and cultural contexts.
Can explain in a different way with theory of mind as well.
What is Syntax and Syntax ?
Syntax is the arrangement of words and phrases to create sentences and Syntax is the arrangement of words and
phrases to create sentences
What are the Organic causes, Speech Sound Disorders and Fluency Disorders/Stuttering ?
Must name two for each causes but can name three for an extra points of 100 if get all three but if get any wrong other team can steal
Organic causes
– Hearing impairment
– Cerebral palsy
– Cleft palate
Speech Sound Disorders
– Articulation vs Phonological disorders
– Most are functional disorders
Fluency Disorders/Stuttering
– Typical vs Atypical Disfluencies
– Secondary characteristics
– Developmental disfluency – ages 2-4
What is a theory?
Theories are just theories which means no one is better than another, but they do help guide our field and our patient care.
Why are graphemes and phonemes important to be able to differentiate
They are important to be able to differentiate because teachers can better identify whether a student is struggling with hearing sounds (phonemic issue) or matching them to letters (graphemic issue).
Is the task of acquiring communicative competence difficult?
Yes but explain why to receive the 500 points if can not receive 100 points other team has chance to steal
What are the components of language?
Must name all to receive the 500 points if name half receive 350 points other team can steal if they explain the importance of the components
- Form
Phonology –speech sounds
Morphology – word parts
Syntax – sentence structure
Content
Semantics- meaning of words
-Use
Pragmatics – use of language for social needs
What Causes Atypical Language Development?
Organic disorders (motor/neurological, structural/physical, sensory/perceptual ) , Functional Disorders (unknown), High degree of comorbidity
What is one difference between nature vs nurture?
Nature refers to the biological and genetic influences while Nurture refers to the environmental and social influences.
