Communication
|
Refers to the process of sharing information between 2 or more people. The transmission of thoughts, feelings, from the mind of a speaker to the mind of a listener.
2main players (sender/receiver) Processes: formulation, transmission, reception, comprehension |
|
formulation, transmission, reception, comprehension
|
Formulation: pulling together thoughts
Transmission: conveying Reception: receiving Comprehension: understanding |
|
Modalities used for communication:
|
Oral: Speech
Aural: Hearing |
|
Communication Function
|
We ask for something, Giving directions, story telling, conversation and interaction, teaching
|
|
Grice’s Maxims:
|
Quantity: correct amount and type of info is presented to allow the listener to understand the information.
Quality: accuracy of the information Relevance: Topic maintenance, appropriate to the listener and the situation. Manner: fluency, turn taking, pauses, eye contact, loudness & pitch. |
|
Communication as it relates to:
|
Hearing (Reception)
Language (Formulation, Comprehension) Speech (Transmission) |
|
Language:
|
a socially shared (1) code that uses a system of (2)arbitrary symbols to represent ideas that are meaningful to others, who know the same code. Language is (3) conventional or a rule governed system.
(4) Language is a representational tool: allows us to represent our thoughts. |
|
Specificity of Language:
|
language is a human capability, and no other animals share this aptitude.
|
|
Universality of Language
|
Every human culture throughout the world has language.
|
|
Samanticity:
|
Language represents something: events, objects, concepts. It conveys meaning.
|
|
Productivity:
|
Language contains an endless number of combinations but a small number of governing rules that allow for unlimited communication. The possibility of recombination is endless. Even a limited vocabulary of an 18 month old child (approximately 50 word vocabulary) with combining and recombining can produce communication that allows a broad expression of needs.
|
|
Rate of Acquisition of language:
|
The first 5 years of lift is the most critical for language development. The rate of language development slows after age 5 and never again with the achievements made in these first 5 years be again possible in such a short period of time.
|
|
Language Domains: (3 domain classification)
|
Form, Use, Content
|
|
Form
|
How sounds and words are put together. How they are organized to convey meaning. (Syntax, Morphology, Phonology)
|
|
Content
|
meaning of language, the words we use and their assigned meaning, conveyed through our vocabulary or lexicon. The semantics of language.
|
|
Use
|
how language is used functionally for meeting personal and social needs. The pragmatics of language.
|
|
3 components of Form
|
1) Syntax: The rules of language and the internal organization, word order.
2) Morphology: rules that govern internal organization of words.(walk, verses walked, vs. walker) 3) Phonology: The rules of language governing the sounds we use to make syllables and words. 27 letters of the alphabet, 40 phonemes (standard American English) 15 vowels and 25 consonants. |
|
Component of Use
|
Pragmatics: Social purpose and appropriateness of language. Using language for different purposes, organizing language for conversation (discourse), knowing, what to say, when and how to say it (social conventions).
|
|
Component of Content
|
Semantics- the rules of language that govern the meaning of words and combinations of words.
|
|
Communication Impairments
|
1) Developmental
2) Aquired |
|
Auditory System
|
-outer ear
-middle ear -inner ear |
|
Speech (neuromuscular)
|
describes the neuromuscular process by which we turn language into sound signal that is transmitted through the air, to the receiver. Involves respiration, phonation and articulation.
|
|
Hearing
|
Perception of sound; applied to the communication process, audition involves specifically the perception of speech.
|
|
Acoustics:
Phoneme: |
Study of sound
Smallest measure of sound |
|
Effective communicators are able to
|
Formulate, transmit, receive and comprehend information from other individuals successfully
|
|
Disorders of Speech
|
a breakdown in one or more of the systems involved with speech production: respiration, phonation, articulation.
|
|
Disorder of articulation
|
present when a child fails to use speech sounds at a level appropriate for his or her age and cultural and linguistic background. (Clef Pallet)
|
|
Fluency Disorder
|
an abnormally high frequency or duration of stoppages in the forward flow of speech. Characteristics: repetition and prolongation of sounds and complete blockages of the airflow.
|
|
Voice Disorder
|
Lack of voice (aphonia)
Hoarse voice (dysphonia) |
|
Acoustic process:
|
creation of a sound source, vibration of air particles, reception by the ear, comprehension by the brain
