Unit 3 Discussion

Discussion Topic

Throughout this course, many opportunities are available to post an initial response to a Discussion topic as well as to respond to your classmates’ responses. After you have completed the reading, and without reviewing your classmates’ responses, post your initial response to the following Discussion. Your post should be at least 200 words in length and should extend the discussion of the group supported by your course materials and/or other appropriate resources. After you have submitted your initial post, review some of your classmates’ posts and respond to at least two of your classmates. Refer to your Discussion Board Rubric in your Syllabus for specific grading explanation.

The Impact of Social Norms on Verbal Communication

Social norms guide your conversational interactions with others. This can become evident when you consider different contexts.

For this Discussion, please respond to the following:

• Describe how language is symbolic.
• Compare two of the rules of language (phonological, semantic, syntactic and pragmatic) and discuss how it applies to verbal communication.
