Document Summary
Language: expression of human communication through which information can be experienced, explained, and shared. Form: phonology, study of sound system of languages, phonemes unit of sound that conveys meaning. E. g. , /p/ and /b/ are different phonemes: phonotactics rules that govern phonemes and how we combine them to form syllables in words. Different languages have different phonotactics, e. g. , common russian name dmitry: sample phonological rule of english, e. g. Plural -s added to word-final voiced consonant = /z/ Plural -s added to word-final voiceless consonant = /s: e. g. /dm/ can appear in middle of words: morphology, study of words, their formation, and relationships, combining phonemes, morpheme: Can form words or parts of words. Cannot be divided into any smaller units and still carry meaning. Must be attached to other free morphemes or other bound morphemes. E. g. , cookie-s = 2, walk-ing = 2: the higher the mlu the more advance their utterances, mlu = total number of morphemes.
