This is the second of two sessions which describe the language processing system and the challenges facing all children learning to talk. This session describes the speech mechanism and the linguistic knowledge involved in both understanding and producing spoken language.

Learning objectives

By the end of this session you will be able to:

  • Explain how the system of speech sounds used in spoken language relies on the precise co-ordination of the articulators: lips, tongue, jaw, vocal cords and velum
  • Identify the different linguistic levels of spoken language: phonetics, phonology, semantics, syntax and pragmatics

This is the second of two sessions that introduce the child as listener and speaker.

In this session, we describe the biological structures and linguistic knowledge required for understanding and producing speech at the single sound, word and sentence level.
