I'm a highlearner in the Speech-Language Pathology (Speech Therapy) field, wherein speech-sickness and language-sickness are neither selfsame in shape nor bettered by the same behandling. Thus, in this field, there lies a weighted shed between a language, human language, and speech.
Human language is a shared oversending-framework brooked by all of mankind. It bestows us the inborn skill to share thoughts, feelings, and beliefs between ourselves. It is law-framed and rooted in whimsy marks. This meaning frames language around its stead in the brain and how the brain builds it "frame by frame" (in real time, so to speak).
A language is easily overset as a tung, that is, a bestemed oversending-framework. All tungs are shed with another, yet they all come from the bestowed skillset that mankind holds. Byspels include Theech, Spanish, and Russish, to name only a few. Language needn't be spoken, such as with sign languages.
Speech is the bodily deed of speaking. It is not the same as language, not likeword for a language, and does not happen with sign languages.
I believe there's room in Anglish to both make such meanings the rightline and to brook brief, well outlined words to betoken them. Sadly, I don't know which words should be rightly brooked so that Anglishers aren't needlessly bewildered. Any thoughts?
Some examples in the old-school formal of Danish (though rare to hear now)
-
We would rephrase questions to be more open-ended; going from: "vil du række mig saltet?" ("will you pass the salt?") to "De kunne vel ikke række mig saltet?" ("could you perhaps pass the salt?")
-
or doubting: "ved du hvor toget er?" ("do you know where the train is?") to "De ville vel ikke tilfældigvis vide, hvor toget er, ville De vel?" ("you wouldn't by any chance happen to know where the train might be, would you?"),
-
we would use different pronouns when talking to strangers or superiors ("du/dig" to friends and family "De/Dem" to others)
-
we would rephrase imperatives to suggestions: "skynd dig" ("hurry up") to "nu må De skynde Dem lidt" ("you ought to hurry up a bit")
What are your examples?
Edit: I spelled out the examples

Now whenever I go to Puerto Rico and everyone in my family is speaking Spanish I start crying. But also crying just by thinking about my situation of me not being able to speak Spanish. I’m trying to re-learn but I still wish my parents taught me. Is anyone going through something similar to this? I just wanna know that I’m not alone.
I have been a pediatric speech therapist for the last 15 years with loads of experience working with kids with autism. The younger this population gets intervention the better… I’m talking about before 24 mos. of age. What would help identify these kids during wellness checks-up? If you use screeners, are they helpful?
I am trying to establish more professional relationships with local pediatricians. How can I be a resource without adding to your already filled cup?
Tl;Dr: I am a White male speech therapist working mostly with Asian kids and some of their parents are requesting that I be less nice, less playful, and force their kids to do more drills (not effective). What do I do next?
1st off, I'm sorry, but my clinical experience, parental experience, and the fuckin data clearly have my side. Children learn language through play and positive reinforcement. A firm, kind, authoritative presence is king. I simply will not waver in these beliefs.
Thing is, Asian parents are complaining that I'm playing on the ground with their children (this is how to teach language to very young children, full-stop) and like... being nice to them and not getting mad at them (sorry my dudes. I'm not gonna get mad at your kid. Not gonna do it.)
I may not be able, nor would I consider it appropriate or culturally sensitive to try to sway these parents to adopt my techniques. That being said, does anyone have tips on how I can convince people to trust my expertise? Is Western parenting looked down upon as coddling and permissive? Might there be some additional distrust since I am a man who is animated, sweet, and good with children? Like "that's not how guys are supposed to act"?
I am the one with the degree. They are coming to me for my knowledge. I have considered the idea of being a bit more patriarchal in my dealings with parents. Typically, I have told parents that we are all working together as a team to grow their child's language and I encourage their input and ask consult with them when writing goals. Should I just kick em out of the room, do my evaluation, and prescribe treatment because I am the pro?
Among the wide variety of South, Central, and North American parenting styles I've witnessed in this profession, this has not been an issue. African American parenting norms can appear a good bit more harsh that what I'm doing but the Black families I've served have still gone out of their way to compliment my style of discipline.
I know how naive some of this may sound. I am aware that immigrants coming here have seen and gone through some gnarly shit and that my lovey-dovey hugs and kisses and happy talk and play-time may seem soft. I am aware that the individualism in the U.S.A. may not be seen favorably. Hell. I don't even see it favorably all the time. We could do with some more collectivism. Maybe then we'd get paid maternal leave. It must be so jarring to move from an impoverished or violent part of the world with you

What are the job prospects like?
I'm seeing mixed opinions online
Hello. I’m looking for an accessible text on how speech evolved and came about in human beings. Capacity for language. The evolution of human body to make it capable. Things like that. I don’t know if there’s consensus on how this happened but i was wondering if there was a book someone could recommend that would talk about some of this stuff. Nothing too jargon and in the weeds. Just a little, if that makes sense. Thanks.
Hi everyone,
I've read chapter 11 of the book about testing and while everything is quite clear I find the name of two "categories" of test: "unit tests" and "integration tests" a bit confusing. So maybe someone can confirm if I understand it well?
I have experience in .NET and C# and there when you talk about unit and integration test you usually use the same patterns/library/test-runner for both kinds. They just do very different thing and are usually written in separate projects. Unit tests test small isolated parts of code without touching external word (you write mocks for that). Integration tests can test multiple parts of codebase and can do stuff like database calls, external API calls, call actual 3rd party library to verify if it won't break if we do upgrade, etc.
For me these are the main differences between "unit " and "integration" test. But here in rust the book tells me that that :
- "unit testing" - tests that are written close to the source of what module/function you are testing. You can test private members (looks like Rust module system supports it very well, so well that I even suspect that the privacy rules, that the inner module can see all stuff of parent modules, were designed with unit testing private members in mind)
- "integration tests" - tests that are written for your library (so you can't test "bin" project). You cannot test private members because you can only use what the user of your library can.
But this looks more like technical separation right? There is nothing stopping me from writing "unit test" that do calls to database? And if that parts of code would be private I would have to write it in my "src" directory as "unit test" even though in my mind I will still call it integration test because I talk with database.
So the terms "unit tests" and "integration tests" in Rust world, are more like technical terms for "tests in 'src' dir that can also test private members" and "test in 'tests' dir that can test public API of you lib", but both can contain tests that in .NET/JVM world people wold call "unit" or "integration" tests. Do I get it right?
For example, if I spoke English and I couldn’t pronounce R, but I was bilingual in French from childhood— would it be possible to have no detectable impediment in French because I am better suited to speaking a language without the hard R sound? Or is there always a set of struggles that translate between languages, and the difficulty would shift to another sound? Could speaking in a different accent of your native language nullify a speech impediment?
Do most second language researchers agree that t units and MLU are good measures of fluency and/or syntactic complexity in the speech of children and adults who learn second languages? If so, does this equally hold for dual immersion classroom contexts and traditional classrooms? Also, what would be some good references?
If you liked this article, do share with friends and family! I really appreciate the support.
TLDR Is anyone here a non-German-native speech and language therapist who works in Germany? Particularly interested if anyone qualified in the UK but keen to hear from anyone with any knowledge.
I'm currently studying an MSc to be a speech and language therapist at a UK university (I am British) and was wondering about possibly moving to Germany after I'm qualified. I was wondering if anyone else had moved, how they found the process and how they find the job there? I'm interested regardless of whether you work in English, German, or both!
Just to say, I have done my homework into the process of being accredited by the German government, visas, and all the other things like that. I speak C1+ish German - I have an undergraduate degree in German and have done an internship there. I just wanted to hear from some people who had done it! Thanks in advance.
The text is really dense and it's a bit hard to understand at times. Anyone know good companion texts that explain the content more? Maybe with some python examples?
One of the programs I'm applying to requires a course in "child language disorders". Has anyone taken a course just on "language disorders" and had it satisfy a pre-requisite course like "child language disorders". The description of the "language disorders" course I would take includes language disorders in both children and adults*.*
number one. python has everything on its own from ugly syntax with spaces instead of brackets to names of oop entities such as objects (collection) and arrays (list)
number 2. python is slow, old programming language and has no logic in it, it has bad dx and too many people know it so it's impossible to find job. I was learning it for 3 years and then moved to javascript. now looks at my results: python earned me 0$ and took me 3 years. javascript earned me 1200$ and took me 2 years and I'm looking forward for more.
number 3. python community are clowns really the worst community of programmers, nearly all of them hate all other languages and all other people. contrary to me, for example, web developer, who only hates python and I accept all other languages including the oldest and most useless
#4. pip is silly copy of npm and packages.txt is a silly copy of package.json just like everything else in python... they trying to copy the best and then they fuck up:(
the last but not the least 5. my informatics teacher is piece of shit. all my previous teachers who was learning python+pascal+some other languages was ok if I'm doing my business in school during class but when I came to 10th grade I met this stupid teacher who only know python and she said we can pretty easily earn $1000 if we invest time into ourselves, learn in very good college and then work in moscow. bruh I'm getting 10x more than your salary working on freelance we could have been working together on city's presentations and conferences but you just give me an F every lesson you pathetic old lady.
so these were the 5 reasons why python sucks, if you happen to be successful with coding in python with the same effort if you were coding in other languages, i'm really really happy for you. you are cool. but if you choosing what language to learn, please pick any other language, it can be java, c-like, go, kotlin, ruby, even js which is probably the easiest way to get career in programming but not python 👺

Hello everyone! I am a graduate student studying at Eastern New Mexico University. I am conducting a study that is looking at the prevalence of stress among undergraduate students, graduate students, and speech-language pathologists. I am looking for participants for my study, if you are a graduate student, undergraduate student, or SLP please take the time to complete this 3 min survey. I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you! https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/QMD3NHG
Language is the vehicle for most learning, so when a child has speech, language and communication difficulties it can affect the development of the child’s cognitive, social and emotional wellbein.
