Leonard Bloomfield
Bloomfield's approach

He published a book called
Language
(1933).

behaviorism
ideas that are rejected by Psychology.

critical distiction
between
language
and
parole
.
Language
Knowledge of a language system between speakers of language.
Parole
The use of that system.

child language acquisition, sign language, language perception, and grammatical structure
.
This information helps linguists and language researches (for instance,
Leonard Bloomfield
,
Ferdinand de Saussure
, and
Edward Boas
) to figure out how people learn and develop new approches in order to improve learning strategies and methodologies.

The study of mental representations and processes used in language
Representations: active and passive vocabulary is stored in our
mental lexicon
How do we produce language? Construction of utterances
Top-down: communication flows from the higher level to the lower level
Production process: speaker and writer (producer)
Bottom-up: communication flows from the lower level to the higher level
Comprehension process: listener and reader (comprehender)
Processes: we recognize familiar words and sounds and use rules to comprehend plurals

recursive
and can produce a several number of sentences from a finite set of systematic rules and
representations
".

essential distiction
between
competence
and
performance
Chomsky's proposals about the
nature of syntactic structure
helped psychologists figure out if
