    Speech- the actual behaviour of producing a language code


    by making appropriate vocal sound patterns( Hubbell,1985

    Basics Concepts on
    Communication, Speech
    and Language
    • Language- is a “ code whereby ideas about the world are
    expressed through a conventional system of arbitrary
    signals for communication

    “Five dimensions of Language”


    1. Phonology- language sound system
    2. Morphology- basic unit of meaning is combined into
    words.
    3. Syntax- meaningful arrangements of words into synthesis
    4. Semantics- relate phonology and syntax to meaning
    5. Pragmatics- set of rules how language is used.
    • “Speech is abnormal when it deviates so far from the
    speech of other people that it calls attention to itself,
    interferes with communication, or causes the speaker or
    his listener to feel distressed.”(Van Riper,1984.,cited in
    Heward, 2003)
    • “ Speech and Language Impairments as a communication
    disorder such as stuttering, impaired articulation , a
    language impairment, or a voice impairment that
    adversely affects a child’s educational performance.”(
    IDEA)
