Why study language?
• We take it for granted… just like air.
• Air is physical, language is not. Is it mental? Psychological? Biological? Social? Experiential?
• Only human has language biological
• Language needs to be acquired experiential
• Communicative means mental, social

Historical Studies of Language
• Small investigation: Language in Science
• To see how language was “scientifically” studied in the past.
• Articles returned are more philosophical than empirical…
![Page 17: 1 PSYC 3290 Psycholinguistics January 7, 2008. 2 Today’s outline Course outline, structure & information Introduction to the course (Altmann, chapter.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e165503460f94b0148e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Bell (1883)• Visible speech: universal language that
can be used for everyone, thus solve the problem of language confusion.
• Vehicle of universal language = universal alphabets visible speech
• English is very likely to be the universal language, but the irregular grapheme-phoneme correspondence makes it difficult to achieve universality

Universal Alphabet• Phonetic system for the roman letters
Elementary symbols of vowels
| † • ೧
1. Voice
2. Contraction or rounding of lips
3. Compression of the back cavity of the mouth
4. Expansion of the back cavity of the mouth
Elementary symbols of consonants
С ε | ς
1. Part of the mouth to form consonant
2. Part of the mouth which divides the breath
3. Drawn across the end of a curve to denote a consonant that stops the breath
4. Emission of breath through the nose
5. Added to ends of curve to denote simultaneous modification by two parts of the mouth

An example…
“Nothing could be simpler than these elements, the meanings of which are remembered by every person after a single explanation…” (p. 352)

Stop the breath by means of the lips and sound the voice through the nose.

Carpenter (1887)
• Language is psychological, not innate, … not a concrete object, but exists only in soul of the individual. (pp. 572-573)
• Physiological: organ of speech
• Learning another language = learning to think in this language
• Language = thought (or the representation of thought)
![Page 22: 1 PSYC 3290 Psycholinguistics January 7, 2008. 2 Today’s outline Course outline, structure & information Introduction to the course (Altmann, chapter.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e165503460f94b0148e/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
Language Studies
• Practical command of language: language as form of thought
• Theoretical knowledge of language: language becomes subject of thought
• Learning foreign language: organ of speech will need time and effort to be accustomed to the new sound-meaning system
![Page 23: 1 PSYC 3290 Psycholinguistics January 7, 2008. 2 Today’s outline Course outline, structure & information Introduction to the course (Altmann, chapter.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e165503460f94b0148e/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Language Studies
• “…language-study is concerned not with dead letters, but with living speech.” (p. 574)
• Emphasized on usage, not spoon-fed grammatical rules: “grammar of a living language, like the life of the community itself, is constantly in process of change and development… numerous textbooks whose prototype is the old grammar of Donatus. Such a grammar may possibly have its use as a book of reference, but surely not otherwise.” (p. 575).

Thorndike (1943)
• Connects language to intelligence
• Language acquisition is a matter of association
• Language helps planning, memory and imagination
• Statistical learning
• Human ≈ animal
Connectionism

Kellogg (1968)
• “A deaf mute fails to speak because he never hears the acoustic patterns which make up words.”
• Babbling and prattling are cornerstones for language development
• Chimps? Chimps have good ears… and they imitate well
• Chimps don’t speak because they have never been exposed to language properly
![Page 28: 1 PSYC 3290 Psycholinguistics January 7, 2008. 2 Today’s outline Course outline, structure & information Introduction to the course (Altmann, chapter.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e165503460f94b0148e/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Ape-rearing experiment
• ? “Apes as household pets are not uncommon today…”
• Research in comparative psychology showed similarities between child and infant chimps up to 3 years mental age
• But disappointing performance in communication never copied or reproduced human word sounds

Lenneberg (1969)
• Language development = developmental biology
• Correlation between language and motor developmental milestones is high
• Mediating factor, such as brain maturation?
• No variation in developmental rate among different societies, albeit different social environment
![Page 33: 1 PSYC 3290 Psycholinguistics January 7, 2008. 2 Today’s outline Course outline, structure & information Introduction to the course (Altmann, chapter.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e165503460f94b0148e/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

(First?) Scientific study of language
• 6 deaf mothers vs. 10 hearing mothers
• Home visit: 3 hours observation and 24 hours of noise/sound recording

34
Lenneberg’s position
• There is a biological clock for language development
• Language consists of a spectrum of processes: syntax, phonology, lexicon…
• Language and cognition are inseparable
• Relate language processing to the brain
• Critical age for language acquisition
• Language is uniquely a human behaviour

36
Components of Language
• Semantics: study of meaning• Morphology: smallest meaningful unit in a
word• Lexicon: collection of lexemes (unique
vocabulary that can have many word-forms)– Lexeme: run– Word-forms: ran, run– Same word? Different word? Well, two word-
forms of the same lexeme
![Page 37: 1 PSYC 3290 Psycholinguistics January 7, 2008. 2 Today’s outline Course outline, structure & information Introduction to the course (Altmann, chapter.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e165503460f94b0148e/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
37
Components of Language
• Syntax: rules governing the order or sequence of words
• Example: I married James.
James married I ??
James married me.
• Grammar: combination of syntax (word sequences) and morphology (word structures)

Components of Language• Phonology: study of set of phonemes that
makes up a language– Phoneme: smallest unit of sound which
differentiates words– Syllable: consists of a vowel and at least one
consonant. Smaller than word, could be a morpheme• Onset: /k/• Rhyme: /at/
–Nucleus: /a/–Coda: /t/

Components of Language
• Phonetics: study of physical speech sounds– Articulatory phonetics: movements of
biological structures of speech production– Acoustic phonetics: physical properties of
acoustic signal, e.g., frequency, amplitude, intensity and duration of speech sounds.
