Document Summary
Communication: is behaviour that affects the behaviour of others by the transmission of information. Code: a complex pattern of associations of the units of a communication system. In language, those units could be sound units; meaningful units, such as words; or meaningful units that are larger than words, such as phrases, clauses, and sentences. Grammar: is the system (pattern) of elements (such as words) and of the rules of phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics inherent in a language. The term grammar also refers to the study of those elements and rules. Decode: to react to a message in a way that reflects the reason that the sender encodes it. Phonological system: of a language is the grammar (pattern) of sounds of that language. Lexicon: mental dictionary, the vocabulary that one has stored in the brain. Morphological rules: are the rules used to construct words from their component parts.
