Document Summary
Asha (1993, p40) an impairment or deviant development of comprehension and/or use of a spoken, written, and/or other symbol system: troubles with understanding and producing language, broad definition. Model: form phonology- sound of the systems. Pragmatics- using language appropriately in social interactions to communicate with others. They know the rule of language, however they don"t use it appropriately in. The circles overlaps social interactions: isolated disorders, often you can see the disorder in more than one area since they interact with each other. Dashed line around content means incomplete development. Children who are slow acquiring their first word. As they get older, they speak grammatical correct, however they don"t mean that much: ie. May be quite social, strong pragmatics skills. May tend to ask a lot of questions because can"t generate much content itself. Pure content disorders: very rare, since the components of language overlap, weak sematic knowledge, could also effect grammatical and other components.
