error in correcting speach.....
So for my paper I have decided to settle down and work with body language. I had originally thought of doing something else, but when it came down to actually writing a paper, I realized it would be easier to watch body language. I was at a social this weekend and I was able to monitor peoples movements and their actions. Ontop of the scocial I will also be monitoring my roommates, which they dont know about yet lol. I already have quite a lot of information about my roommates and it is so interesting to actually write down and see on paper what they actually do that is so common to your/their every day life.
On to the reading, I have the same experience as cartartian with the little words I used to use a a kid, as Piaget describes in the secon reading. These moments in life immediatly popped into my head as I was reading. When I was little I used to say "Psgetti" instead of spaghetti and "peat" instead of seat. My dad said that my mom never corrected my grammer until one day in preschool for parent teacher conferences, my teahcer told my mom that she was concerned because I was saying certain words incorrectly. My mom finally confessed that she knew I was saying them wroing but she didnt want to fix them becasue they sounded so cute. I found it very interesting in the second reading that external speach and semantic work in opposite directions, which assumes that their development doesnt coincide, but eventhough this is true they are not interdependent. The end of the second reading made me open my eyes to the way that we understand speach. When talking with someone else, we listen and unconsciously take in the words they are saying and fit them to a story. However, we never see it in this way; "that to understand someone elses speach, it is not suficient to understand his words-we must understand his thought. But even that is not enough-we must also know its motivation." You never think of these things when you are talking with someone, they all go on in the unconscious, which is astounding. How can the unconscious be doing so much, yet we never notice it?
