Question 1

What are the smallest units of meaning in a language&#10;A)&#160;phonemes&#10;B)&#160;sounds&#160;&#10;C)&#160;words&#10;D)&#160;morphemes

Accepted Answer

The smallest units of meaning in a language are morphemes, which are the smallest meaningful units of language. A morpheme can be an entire word (like "dog") or a part of a word (like the "-s" at the end of "dogs" to indicate plurality). Phonemes are the smallest units of sound in a language, but they do not necessarily carry meaning on their own. Words are made up of one or more morphemes and may carry meaning on their own, but they are not the smallest units of meaning.

Question 2

What is the system of rules that specifies how words can be arranged into sentences in a language&#10;A)&#160;semantics&#10;B)&#160;symbolic structure&#160;&#10;C)&#160;morpheme structure&#10;D)&#160;syntax

Accepted Answer

Syntax is the system of rules in language that specifies how words can be arranged into sentences. Semantics refers to the meanings of words and sentences, not their arrangement. Symbolic structure and morpheme structure are not commonly used terms in linguistic theory.

Question 3

Which of the following is an example of the statement that &#34;language is symbolic&#34;&#10;A)&#160;You can use the word &#34;dog&#34; to refer to a variety of different individual animals.&#160;&#10;B)&#160;The word &#34;dog&#34; can be used in a variety of novel sentences.&#160;&#10;C)&#160;You can use the word &#34;dog&#34; to refer to an animal that isn't currently present.&#160;&#10;D)&#160;The phrase &#34;the dog bit the man&#34; means something different from &#34;the man bit the dog.&#34;

Accepted Answer

&#160;You can use the word &#34;dog&#34; to refer to an animal that isn't currently present.&#160;

Question 4

When your classmate says,&#34;I never thought I'd say this,but I really enjoyed taking that psychology exam,&#34; which property of language does his statement best illustrate&#10;A)&#160;Language is structured.&#10;B)&#160;Language is practical.&#160;&#10;C)&#160;Language is generative.&#10;D)&#160;Language is symbolic.

Accepted Answer

This statement shows how language is not just used to convey pre-existing thoughts or information, but can also be used to create new thoughts and expressions. The classmate is expressing a thought that they potentially have not had before and is using language to generate that thought.

Question 5

What is the same between the two sentences &#34;The boy hit the ball&#34; and &#34;The ball was hit by the boy&#34;&#10;A)&#160;syntax&#10;B)&#160;morphemes&#160;&#10;C)&#160;semantics&#10;D)&#160;grammar

Accepted Answer

Both sentences convey the same meaning or idea, which is related to semantics. They describe the same action but are structured differently (active vs. passive voice).

Question 6

How many phonemes are in the English language&#10;A)&#160;26&#10;B)&#160;40&#160;&#10;C)&#160;100&#10;D)&#160;155

Accepted Answer

There are approximately 40-44 phonemes in the English language, depending on variations in dialects and accents. This includes consonant and vowel sounds. Choice A is incorrect because 26 represents the number of letters in the English alphabet, not the number of phonemes. Choice C and D are both overestimations and inaccurate.

Question 7

In the statement &#34;First the oven was preheated to 350 degrees,&#34; how many morphemes are in the word &#34;preheated&#34;&#10;A)&#160;3&#10;B)&#160;5&#160;&#10;C)&#160;6&#10;D)&#160;9

Accepted Answer

The word "preheated" contains 3 morphemes: "pre-" (prefix meaning before), "heat" (root word), and "-ed" (suffix indicating past tense).

Question 8

Which of the following is an example of the statement that &#34;language is structured&#34;&#10;A)&#160;The phrase &#34;the dog bit the man&#34; means something different from &#34;the man bit the dog.&#34;&#160;&#10;B)&#160;You can use the word &#34;dog&#34; to refer to a variety of different individual animals.&#160;&#10;C)&#160;You can use the word &#34;dog&#34; to refer to an animal that isn't currently present.&#160;&#10;D)&#160;The word &#34;dog&#34; can be used in a variety of novel sentences.

Accepted Answer

This statement shows that the order of words in a sentence can change its meaning, which is an example of the structured nature of language. The other options do not demonstrate the structural nature of language.

Question 9

Why was cognition somewhat ignored as a topic of study in psychology for many years&#10;A)&#160;It can't be studied in animals, so few researchers were interested.&#160;&#10;B)&#160;The equipment that is necessary to image the brain was not developed yet.&#160;&#10;C)&#160;Interest in psychodynamic theory dominated the field.&#160;&#10;D)&#160;It is incredibly difficult to study thoughts in a controlled manner due to the unobservable nature of introspection.

Accepted Answer

Cognition involves thoughts and mental processes that are internal and cannot be directly observed, making it difficult to study in a controlled manner. This led to it being somewhat ignored as a topic of study in psychology for many years.
