For example, if a person asked, "That wasn't hard, wasn't it?" versus "That wasn't hard, was it?" The latter sentence is syntactically correct]]> 2017-03-29 08:28:45 UTC https://padlet.com/drivera0920/zu41hy15p2lx/wish/163345636 drivera0920 https://padlet.com/drivera0920/zu41hy15p2lx/wish/163345662 Semantics refers to the meanings of words and sentences. For example, "The car drove itself home," is a semantically incorrect sentence; however, the sentence is syntactically correct.]]> 2017-03-29 08:28:52 UTC https://padlet.com/drivera0920/zu41hy15p2lx/wish/163345662 drivera0920 https://padlet.com/drivera0920/zu41hy15p2lx/wish/163345691 Phonology is the sound system of syllables used to make phrases and the ways they can be combined. For example, "here" and "hear" phonetically sound the same. However, many words that sound the same may have different meanings. This is a homophone.]]> 2017-03-29 08:28:58 UTC https://padlet.com/drivera0920/zu41hy15p2lx/wish/163345691 drivera0920 https://padlet.com/drivera0920/zu41hy15p2lx/wish/163345740 Morphology refers to the units involved in word formation.

Over the next six months, infants can begin to segment the stream of words they hear into words. A baby, at this stage, begins learning word boundaries. For example, a baby may recognize -nt to be at the end of words versus the beginning of them. A baby begins vocalizing through crying beginning from birth to indicate stress. They can also coo at 2 to 4 months and demonstrate interaction with their caregiver. Then they begin to babble in the middle of their first year. This shows a development in their speech. Infants begin using gestures about the age of 7 to 15 months. They learn pointing, nodding, shaking head no, and food gestures. A baby understands words before it can speak them, but it takes about 18 months for its first intelligible words can be heard. Eventually, the baby can learn two word utterances, which allow for the implementation of syntax to convey their meaning.]]> 2017-03-29 08:29:28 UTC https://padlet.com/drivera0920/zu41hy15p2lx/wish/163345819 drivera0920 https://padlet.com/drivera0920/zu41hy15p2lx/wish/163348448 2017-03-29 08:42:19 UTC https://padlet.com/drivera0920/zu41hy15p2lx/wish/163348448 drivera0920 https://padlet.com/drivera0920/zu41hy15p2lx/wish/163348658 2017-03-29 08:43:13 UTC https://padlet.com/drivera0920/zu41hy15p2lx/wish/163348658 drivera0920 https://padlet.com/drivera0920/zu41hy15p2lx/wish/163348894 2017-03-29 08:44:20 UTC https://padlet.com/drivera0920/zu41hy15p2lx/wish/163348894 drivera0920 https://padlet.com/drivera0920/zu41hy15p2lx/wish/163349396 2017-03-29 08:46:33 UTC https://padlet.com/drivera0920/zu41hy15p2lx/wish/163349396 drivera0920 https://padlet.com/drivera0920/zu41hy15p2lx/wish/163773250 Using logical phrases to demonstrate logical reasoning.]]> 2017-03-30 17:07:45 UTC https://padlet.com/drivera0920/zu41hy15p2lx/wish/163773250 drivera0920 https://padlet.com/drivera0920/zu41hy15p2lx/wish/163778438 2017-03-30 17:26:09 UTC https://padlet.com/drivera0920/zu41hy15p2lx/wish/163778438
