Language: is a system for communicating with others using signals that are combined according to rules of grammar and convey meaning. Grammar: a set of rules that specify how the units of language can be combined to produce meaningful messages. Phonemes: the smallest units of sound that are recognizable as speech rather than as random noise are. Phonological rules: that indicate how phonemes can be combined to produce speech sounds. Morphological rules: indicate how morphemes can be combined to form words. Content morphemes: refer to things and events (e. g. , cat, dog, take ). Function morphemes: serve grammatical functions, such as tying sentences together ( and, or, but ) or indicating time ( when ). Syntactical rules: indicate how words can be combined to form phrases and sentences. Deep structure: refers to the meaning of a sentence. Surface structure: refers to how a sentence is worded. Telegraphic speech: they are devoid of function morphemes and consist mostly of content words.
