expanded functions

1.    Explain what expanded language functions are?

There are many different classifications systems available for looking at the purposeful uses of communication.

Intentionality

Before looking at types or purposes of languages from the child, it will be important to observe and understand about how intentional the child´s daily communication is. By the intentional is meant:

Does the child ever deliberately signal a message to others? If the child engages in direct, observe behavior. Even if he is not looking directly at the person, he may have used peripheral vision to check if someone is around. More observations might be needed in case of the latter.

Do the adults and other children in the child´s life predominately need to observe what he is doing and make a guess at what he may or may not want? This means the communication partner does all the work and has to learn to “read” the situation.

Example	Intentional/Non intentional
Cami takes his teacher by the hand, walks to the cupboard, and points upwards. (the teacher knows his favorite toy is kept in that cupboard	Intentional
Caro sees the new toy on the table and goes and grabs it	Non intentional
Andrea sees that the teacher has a new toy on the table. she goes to the table, looks briefly at her, she says “ tray it” and she grabs it.	Intentional
Tim scream and throws things after and intense morning: his teacher thinks he needs a break and directs him to quiet corner of the room	Non intentional

2.    Explain and give examples on your own of each one of the expanded functions: displacement, semanticity, flexibility, productivity, and redundancy. Once again, each person in the group can choose one, but you have to post your selection in the forum.

Concept	Definition	Example
Displacement
Semanticity	The child acquires the semantic features that become semantics relationships that represent concepts which overland and layer to from more complex meaning. Lexical tags	The child represents their own unique meaning that concludes from their unique experiences of the concepts and learning arrangements
Flexibility	Displacement and semanticity are two types of expanded language functions that take the basic semantic relationship of an agent, action, and object and move the meaning, these language functions allow the speaker to be more flexibility with language.	If a 3-year-old hears that some object is made of aluminum (an unfamiliar word), they should focus attention on material properties (texture, color). If they then hear that the object has a gauge, they should shift attention from its material to some noticeable part.
Productivity	Flexibility like displacement and semanticity, increase a person´s ability to use language in a variety of ways for a variety purpose. These expanded language functions help the person become more productive, because the person who has a maximum use to this expanded language functions.	It’s becoming productive shows, what has apparently been non-productive for many decades or even centuries may suddenly come to some degree of productive life, and it may do so in certain dialects or sociolects while not in others.
Redundancy	When speaker continues to acquire meaning through the neuro- semantic language learning system, then the speaker may try to use more words to convey a particular meaning.	Forever and ever – ever is completely unnecessary as it just serves as a duplicate of forever.
