The study of Language Functions
  1. Definition
    1. allow a human to create a variety of cultural identities unique to the products of the human language learning system such as economic or political systems and rule-governed societies (e.g., Dance, 1985)
      1. Socio cognitive process
        1. similar structures the functions are different
    2. Semantic Relationship for language to think
      1. consists of the meaning of those relationships about people, their actions, and their objects within a context or setting
        1. Connect the child's world to his world and this world to the child's thinking
          1. AGENCY: basic function of early language acquisition
            1. AGENT: the performs and action in relationship to the object
      2. Concrete Levels of thinking
        1. A child who cannot receive the sensory input of spoken patterns ay not develop the concepts easily
          1. When the meaning of a basic semantic relationship expands, then the child develops higher thinking
        2. Expanded Language Functions
          1. These expanded language functions move a child’s communication from the here-and-now to ideas that span time and place
            1. speaker can talk about ideas that cannot be seen
              1. begin as soon as a child’s cognitive development begins with the sensory input developing into patterns that form systems of concepts
                1. The child is learning that language functions as a form of displacement
                  1. DISPLACEMENT
                    1. acts that are not seen or touched is another type of language function called displacement
                      1. Semanticity
                        1. Flexibility
                          1. Productivity
                            1. Redundacy
                2. Extended Language Functions
                  1. child who is still acquiring a plethora of sensory patterns and is organizing these patterns into lots of meanings.
                    1. The act of referring is a language function
                      1. These pragmatic acts often express social intentions.
                        1. Social Intentions
                          1. Some of the social intentions for representing thinking through language functions include, greeting, rejecting, denying, existing, negating, and requesting.
                            1. The child expresses an intention or semantic meaning of concepts that are social and therefore pragmatic in nature
                          2. Preoperational cognition
                            1. The child is learning more about how to relate to others
                              1. the child is learning sentence structures
                    2. Thinking and Speech acts
                      1. These conversational language functions or speech acts include the rules for the context, verbal and non-verbal characteristics of the speaker’s utterance
                        1. The most complex type of language function occurs in a debate where two or more speakers are using a multitude of very sophisticated speech acts
                          1. The ability to understand spoken language so as to multi-task or follow through with an assignment are all products of a language user’s ability to predicate cognitively
