Language Disorders

Language is used across all cultures to share ideas and connect with other people. It is a primary distinguishing factor between human beings and other species. We may not recognize the importance and intricacies of language until something goes awry.
In loose terms, language refers to the meaning of words, formation of novel words, putting words together, and using words appropriately. It is essential in our ability to communicate orally and in writing. We produce language verbally through speech or in writing through orthography, and comprehend by listening or reading.
Language can be broken down into the domains of semantics, syntax, morphology, phonology, and pragmatics.
