11. Theories of Psycholinguistics

12. 1 -Acquisition

13. Language Acquisition The learning of a native or first language is called first language acquisition. It’s also known as developmental psycholinguistics.

14. It is just one stand of Psycholinguistic which is all about how people to speak and the mental processes involved. Are we taught to speak by our parents? , or are we born with knowledge in our brains that helps us to pick up language quickly. So really, it’s a question of nature vs. nurture.

15. Nature Nurture Michael Tamasello: He believes that children acquire language first and foremost by understanding how others use language. Noam Chomsky” He believes that we have pre-wired structure in our brains, which helps us to have advance knowledge about language, known as Atavism. Children look for regular patterns in speech and use these as rules to work out new utterance, such as applying the past tens: every word ending with “ ed ”.

16. Later Chomsky believe that we are born with “switches” in our brains. English: SVO Turkish: SOV B. F. Skinner: Skinner research comes under the term “ Behaviorism ” which may be familiar to the studying psychology. His belief is that children learn language through their parents and other sibling around them.

19. 4-Comprehension

20. Definition of Comprehension The word comprehension means understanding . Comprehension actually comes from Latin term. An ability to understand the meaning or impotence of something [or knowledge acquire as a result.

21. Component of Comprehension What is Components of comprehension? Reading skills and communication skills

22. 1-Sound Comprehension Comprehension is strongly influenced by even the slightest of changes in discourse which the listener is attending to. In the course of every day conversation we don’t hear vowels and consonant as isolated sounds The [p] is the following words is produced slightly different the initial [p] of pool pronounced with puckered lips but the same [p] in peel is spoken with the lip spread Despite all variations in [p] native speakers of English almost never confuse any manifestation of the [p] sound with [b] which is acoustically similar. Example these sound Benny and penny.

23. The main feature which English speakers attend to is the [Voice onset Timing] [VOT] of initial consonant the most significant difference English consonant like [b]and [p] is the length of time. Psycholinguistic have discovered that human are actually born with the ability to focus in on VOT differences in the speech sounds. The successful comprehension is a combination of the innate ability to recognize fine distinctions between speech and sounds which all human appear to possess along with the ability all learner have to adjust their acoustic categories to the parameters of the language .

24. Here are some examples Tom is not going to your school. The man who ate at my house last night. Tommy is coming to your pool. Dog is chasing the cat. The cat is being chased by dog.

25. 3-Production Language production is the production of spoken & written language. It describes all stages between having a concept into linguistic form.

26. SPEECH PRODUCTION It concerns with how people produce language in his/her mind to convey their meanings that are comprehensible to others either it is in written form or spoken form Basically it refers that how humans use words to communicate ideas and feelings and how such communication are understood. In simple wording it is how the brain creates and understands language

27. Sub-Levels Of Speech Production There are four sub-levels in speech production Conceptualization Formulation Articulation Self-Monitoring

28. Examples : I think it cost just…uh…about twenty five dollars. They have …uh…to try to contact an attorney. Just about, and have to function as linguistic units, so it is improbable that the speaker would hesitate in the middle of either one, after having already chosen to fill the linguistic slot of the utterance with those phrases. The attested presence of a self monitoring stage that people don’t just communicate with themselves, they don’t just listen to others, they listen to themselves.
