SEMANTIC INTENTIONS AND RELATIONS IN TYPICAL NEPALI SPEAKING CHILDREN

JAYLAL PRASAD YADAV AND SATISH K.

CHAPTER – 1
INTRODUCTION

Language is a complex and dynamic system of conventional symbols that is used in various modes for thought and communication.

Contemporary views of human language:

  • Language evolves within specific historical, social and cultural and cultural contexts.
  • Language as rules governed behavior is described by at least five parameters: phonology, morphology, syntax, semantic and pragmatic.
  • Language learning and use are determined by the interaction of biological, cognitive, psychosocial and environmental factors.
  • Effective use of language for communication requires a broad understanding of human interaction including such associated factors as nonverbal cues, motivation and sociocultural roles. (American Speech and Hearing Association, 1982).

Language is the methodical and predictable use of sound for the intention of communication and self-expression, language is complex and multifaceted. Semantics, one component for language is a “system of rules governing the meaning or content of words and words combination’ (Crystal, 1995).

Semantics is a sub order of linguistics which focus on the study of meaning. Semantics tries to understand that meaning is as an element of language and how it is constructed by language as well as interpreted, masked and negotiated by speakers and listeners of language. Development of semantic information in children consists of buildup of lexicons until their words match that of an adult. The child is using words in a constrained setting, finally use it in a larger semantic network and ultimately learn to separate it from the situation in which they gained the knowledge. Semantic development studies the relationship between language and an individual’s perceptions of the world, including the things and actions within it that is Semantic Intentions and Semantic Relation. (Robert, 2008)
