PSYB57H3 Chapter 10: b57 - chapter 10 - LANGUAGE
Document Summary
Language involves a special type of translation. If you want to describe an experience, you need to convert your ideas about your experience into sounds that you can utter. In turn, the listener needs to detect those sounds and convert them into some sort of comprehension. Language is highly organized w/ clear patterns in the way that various ideas are expressed which guide you. As speakers + listeners, we need to grasp (and rely on) these reliably patterns. We need to know what ideas are intended by the individual worlds, we must be able to decore the syntax etc. Some are easily represented by letters in the alphabet while others are not (thus why we see some weird symbols in their level) When breathing, air flows out of the lungs, through the larynx and up through the nose + mouth. Noises are produced if this airflow is interrupted or altered.
