Document Summary
Communication: an exchange of meaning between a sender and receiver. Language: a socially shared code or conventional system for representing concepts through the use of arbitrary symbols and rule-governed combinations of those symbols. Symbols may be sounds (as in sounds), letters (as in writing), or hand movements (as in sign) Mechanical aspects of planning and producing sounds for language. Phoneme: a speech sound that causes a change in meaning (ex: vowel or consonant) An alphabet with specific symbols used to represent the sounds of speech. Many written letters correspond to more that one speech sound. Vowels and consonants differ in their basic manner of production. Vowels are produced with no constriction in the vocal tract; relatively large distance between the tongue and roof of the mouth. Vowels are produced in the front back dimension or high to low dimension. Classified by jaw height and placement of the tongue. Front vowels are produced with spread lips.
