Later, they produce sound patterns similar to those they hear. Eventually, they transfer these listening and talking rules to reading and writing. Communication is a profound process that defines the human condition. Linguistic Rule Systems Speech-language pathologists typically analyze language through five linguistic rule systems.
All rule systems are two-sided, that is, receptive and expressive.
The receptive side involves understanding linguistic rules as they are heard or read. The expressive side involves using linguistic rules for expression through talking or writing. Although systems are often delineated as follows, considerable overlap and interplay exist. Speech can be fluid or cluttered depending on the stress, rate, and tonal patterns. This set of rules applies to phonemes as they are made in isolation and in transition from one sound to the next.
