Shhhhh! Quiet....Read the words on my lips, no new linguistics

1. This topic fits into what I have previously learned by completing the circle. We have talked about thought processes, comprehension, interferences, and more, but never from the view of language. In our society, in human society, language is the key factor in everything. It is how we communicate, it is how we understand, and how we remember. It gives names to objects, places, and people. Whether it be verbal or through reading this chapter gives a circular outline to other areas: working memory, semantic memory, comprehension, and other cognitive processes that help shape our everyday lives.

2.Surprisingly this is the first time that I think I understand everything that I read. Part of that is because I was looking for articles on everything in the chapter so I got a whole lot of supplemental information that was very helpful.

3. The topic of language is so broad,that it is hard to define where I would use it in my work. So I am going to talk about the factors affecting comprehension: I have a tendency to be very sarcastic. With this tendency I often use negatives in the sentence structure. Through the reading I now realize that than can affect how my students comprehend words (instructions). In accordance with the negatives, the use of nested structures tend to overload my students. Amazingly, I tell myself all the time since I have started this class to not complicate students and overload their stimuli receptors. Ambiguous wording in sentence structure hurts comprehension because it does not allow students to use simple processing to access memory or learn new concept. In PE, where there are common terms that have different meaning depending on how they are being referenced this is an important aspect that I am going to monitor more diligently.
