Chapter 9 and 10 thought, language, and intelligence. Language a system of symbols and rules for combining these symbols in ways that can produce an almost infinite number of possible messages and meanings: three critical properties of language: Symbolic: uses sounds, written signs, or gestures to refer to objects, events, ideas, and feelings.

Structure: has rules that govern how symbols can be combined to create meaningful communication units. Generative: symbols can be combined to generate an almost infinite number of messages. Surface structure consists of the way symbols are combined within a given language: syntax the rules for the combination of symbols. Deep structure refers to the underlying meaning of the combined symbols: semantics the rules for connecting the symbols to what they represent. Example: flying planes can be dangerous.
