The Study of Language Functions

The Study of Language Functions

1. Language functions

   • Language
     • It includes
       • Function of thinking
         • Semantic development
           • Use of language for pragmatic acts
             • Express social intentions
     • Function
       • Allow
         • Solve problems
         • Invent new tools
         • Creat new concepts
       • Relation
         • Within a context or settings
           • Semantic relationships
           • Actions
           • Objects
       • Socio-cognitive process
         • Social
           • Use of language to communicate
           • it is about the learner as an agent in relationship to his or her own environment.
         • Cognitive
           • Thinking form
           • how the learner is learning to think about his or her world
         • Motor movement
           • Shows the learning that is being acquired
             • Language patterns are shown through body language
             • Sensory patterns are involved
               • A communication process is evident involving movements with language
               • It is necessary to use all the senses
     • Represent
       • speaker's thought
       • socio-cognitive development of the Neuro-Semantic Language Learning System
   • study language from a structural perspective
     • Words
     • Sounds
     • Sounds
     • Morphemes
     • Phonemes
     • Sentences
     • Parts of speech
     • Sentence structures
     • Vocabulary
     • The learner acquires basic relationships that express the social and cognitive meaning
   • Semantic relationships
     • It linking the relation between the enviroment and the language.
       • Facilitating the semantic relations with the social develop
     • Agency
       • It is a basic function of early language acquisition
     • For semantic development sensory and perceptual patterns are involved
       • The first functions of language express the relationship between
         • the perception of the action
         • what you want to communicate
     • Basic semantic relationships
       • around 3–6 months
         • Expression of sound patterns

2. Expanded language functions

   • Learning critical thinking and problem solving
   • Start with the development of cognitive
     • Sensory input, becoming patterns creating concepts
   • Displacement
     • The displacement of concepts to generate new
     • it is a function of language that increases
       • semanticity
       • variety of ways
       • variety of concepts
       • redundancy
     • It is the result of the use of language to relate ideas
   • Semanticity
     • It represent concepts that overlap to form more complex meanings
   • Flexibility
     • expanded language functions
       • Displacement
       • semanticity
       • agent, action, and object
         • Move the meaning into complex ideas across time and space
   • Productivity
     • Increases a person’s ability to use language in a variety of ways for a variety of purposes
       • A person is able to use language to create a variety of linguistic forms for literacy
   • Redundancy
     • When a speaker continues to acquire meaning through the Neuro-Semantic Language Learning System
       • the speaker may try to use more words to convey a particular meanin
   • Concrete cognition
     • It is an increase in conceptual meaning
       • Use of advanced structures and vocabulary
   • Speech acts
     • Conversational language or speech acts
       • Include the rules
         • context
         • verbal characteristics
         • nonverbal characteristics
   • Expanded speech acts
     • Generation of better meanings between broadcasters and interlocutors
       • Production of debates among several speakers
