Language: we think we hear pauses in between words, but this is an illusion.

Phoneme pronunciation also differs depending on person/context. Participants of study hear legi*lature, but hear legislature because they use context to figure out the word and believe they hear the full word. Combining phonemes rules govern phoneme combinations (ex. not many english words begin with tl ) Building new words: new words created when morphemes are added ( -ed being added to hacked, generativity - the idea that we are able to create an endless capacity of new combinations. Syntax: rules that govern the sequence of words/phrases in a sentence, allows us to talk about how one topic is related to another. A sentence always consists on noun phrase and verb phrase. These errors can be a nuisance when studying language.
