1: LANGUAGE, PSYCHOLOGY, AND PSYCHOLINGUISTICS

LANGUAGE

Cherry (2012) defines language as a systematic way to convey meaning using symbols and sounds. Language, the connection between the symbol and the meaning is most often completely arbitrary (based on or determined by individual preference or convenience rather than by necessity or the intrinsic nature of something) or in Indonesia language, it was translated into “sembarang” or “suka-suka”.

Each language also has its own rules of syntax and grammar. These rules determine how and when certain words should be combined and in what order they should be presented in order to communicate meaning.

IS HUMAN LANGUAGE DIFFERENT FROM ANIMAL LANGUAGE?

Ferawati (2009) states that human language is distinct from the language of other creatures.  Human language is indeed such unique from communication, then it would seem inconceivable that other would be able to develop an understanding of expression. It seems difficult to conceive of animals understanding human language, it appears to be even less likely that an animal would be capable of producing human language.

Furthermore, Singham (2008) states that the more we understand how human language works, the more we begin to realize how different human speech is from the communication systems of other animals.

PSYCHOLOGY

Answer.com (2012) defines psychology as the science or study of the thought processes and behavior of humans and other animals in their interaction with the environment. The word ‘psychology’, from the Greek psyche, meaning mind or soul, describes an academic and clinical subject concerned with reason and emotion, conscious and unconscious mental processes.

PSYCHOLINGUISTICS

Wisniewski (2007) defines psycholinguistics as a branch of study which combines the disciplines of psychology and linguistics. It is concerned with the relationship between the human mind and the language as it examines the processes that occur in brain while producing and perceiving both written and spoken discourse.

2: LANGUAGE AND SPEECH

TASK 2: 7 FEB 2012

Speech Organs

Language and speech are not the same thing but are closely related. Answer.Com (2012) states that LANGUAGE is the process of finding the words stored in our brain and constructing sentences or utterances.

Furthermore, Answer.Com (2012) states that language is made up of 3 parts: (1) symantics - word meaning Symantics is the CONTENT of language, (2) syntax - word order, Syntax is the FORM of language, and (3) pragmatics - the USE of language in context. However, SPEECH refers to the actual process of making sounds, using such organs and structures as the lungs, vocal cords, mouth, tongue, teeth, etc.” It includes articulation and phonology.
