LING 1010 EXAM 1 COMPLETE
QUESTIONS &
ANSWERS(GRADED A+)
The Language Faculty - ANSWER A way of referring to all of the cognitive abilities that
give rise to language in humans. But more specifically, it is a set of abilities that allows
us to convert from physical signals like sound (or visual signs) to thought.

What is the structure of the language faculty? In other words, how does each stage of
converting from sound to meaning work? - ANSWER Goal #1 of class

How did these abilities get into our minds/brains? In other words, how do children
actually acquire language? - ANSWER Goal #2 of class

How does a deeper understanding of what it means to know a language affect our
beliefs about language (and the people that speak them)? - ANSWER Goal #3 of class

Phonemes - ANSWER The smallest segments of speech that lead to a meaningful
difference between words

If the change of a sound in a new word leads to a different word, then the two sounds
(the original and the new one) are both... - ANSWER ....distinct phonemes in the
language

Examples of distinct phonemes in the language - ANSWER bat vs. rat, heap vs. heat,
moat vs. met

Minimal Pair - ANSWER Two words that differ in exactly one speech sound

International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) - ANSWER Created so that we can easily write
phonemes

Each phoneme that occurs in a language in the world is given exactly one symbol

Each symbol is used only once so there is no confusion

Ex: GHOTI - fish

Physical properties of phonemes - ANSWER your vocal FOLDS are the source of the
sound for phonemes

They produce a spectrum of frequencies

, The vocal TRACT acts as a filter on those frequencies, dampening some, amplifying
others

Formants - ANSWER the highest amplitude peaks in the frequency spectrum, created
by the human vocal tract

Changing the configuration of the vocal tract changes the formants of a speech sound

Vowel phonemes are... - ANSWER ...combinations of three formants, we hear them as
a single percept, as a unified speech sound

Mental representation of phonemes: - ANSWER One Hypothesis is that phonemes are
represented as sets of formants in the mind

McGurk Effect opposes this

McGurk Effect: - ANSWER one piece of evidence against this, that shows that visual
information affects speech perception


Free morphemes - ANSWER morphemes that can be a stand-alone word

Bound morphemes - ANSWER morphemes that only occur attached to a free
morpheme

Sometimes called affixes because they must be affixed to a free morpheme

Prefixes occur ____ the free morphem - ANSWER before

Suffixes occur ______ the free morphem - ANSWER after

Compound words - ANSWER words that are composed of two (or more) free
morphemes

Ambiguous - ANSWER Words that have more than one possible meaning

Compositionality: - ANSWER In linguistics, we say that the meaning of a string is
compositional if the meaning can be derived from the independent meanings of the
parts and how the parts are put together by the rules of the language

Hierarchical Structure - ANSWER smaller units are combined to form larger units

We can capture the hierarchical structures of words with structure-building rules. These
rules combine two objects together to yield a third (larger) object.
