language comprehension, reading and understanding
conversations and essays thru discourse. It
describes the six key properties of language and
explains why do some view speech perception to be
special, whereas others consider speech perception
to be ordinary.

The students are expected to:
○ Compare speech-is-ordinary and speech-is-special views,
mainly the categorical perception and phonemic
restoration.
○ Discuss how do phrase-structure diagrams reveal the
alternative meanings of ambiguous sentences.
○ Identify the transformation rules that govern the changing
of one sentence structure to another.
○ Develop practical suggestion that they can recommend to
make reading easier for someone who is having difficulty
reading.
What is Language?
Language is the use of an organized means of
combining words in order to communicate with those
around us. It also makes it possible to think about things
and processes we currently cannot see, hear, feel,
touch, or smell. These things include ideas that may not
have any tangible form.
What is Language?
Even so, not all communication—exchange of thoughts
and feelings—is through language. Communication
encompasses other aspects—nonverbal communication, such
as gestures or facial expressions, can be used to embellish or
to indicate.
