My apologies to my devoted followers for my absence. In the end however, my time away will serve to benefit you… The better portion of last year was spent on writing a book regarding strategic interpersonal communication. It is entitled The Communication Genome Project and has combined the fields of cognitive, social, developmental and evolutionary psychology for two major purposes: First, I show you, step by step how “thought” is generated and information is processed by the brain. Second, I break all of the aspects of communication down into their individual parts so as to make “systems” for using them [...]

Categorization: As we stated previously, the lexical activation is dependent on all of the prosodic, syntactic, contextual and phonetic information/components we spoke about above. Once a literal meaning has been placed on the word/s [...]

Before we get into the thick of things I think we need just a little bit of definition so let’s first define morpho-phonological… “Morpho” is derived from the term morpheme which refers to the smallest linguistic unit that still maintains some meaning. For instance the term “a” can refer to “singular” or to the beginning of “apple”. A morpheme is made up of phonemes, which as a refresher are the smallest linguistic unit and are simply sounds that do not necessarily carry any meaning on their own. Phonological is derived from the term phoneme which is the smallest unit of [...]
