LanguageA language impairment is a significant delay in the use and/or understanding of spoken or written language.
The disorder may involve the form of language (phonology, syntax, and morphology), its contents or meaning (semantics), or its use (pragmatics), in any combination (American Speech-Language-Hearing Association 1993). For more information: |
A linguistic professor was lecturing to his English class one day. "In English," he said, "A double negative forms a positive. In some languages, though, such as Russian, a double negative is still a negative. However, there is no language wherein a double positive can form a negative." A voice from the back of the room piped up, "Yeah, right."
