1) Langer mentions "audible actions" in paragraph 13. What are they, and why are they important?
"Audible actions" are things people hear that shape them into the people they are to become. These are important because they involuntarily code the brain the perform in a certain way.
2) What is a phoneme, and how does it differ from lalling?
A phoneme is a sound that makes words different from one another. A lalling is the absence of phonemes in dialect, usually early staged children's.
3) What does the term Gestalt mean in paragraph 6?
Gestalt in paragraph 6 means it is a great achievement.
Postman
4) Postman says the metaphor is "an organ of perception" (para. 6). How can metaphor be an organ of perception?
When he says that metaphors are organs he means that they are the core being of speech in a visual sense. Without metaphors it would be difficult to express the full potential of perception in a situation.
5) Why does Postman raise the question of over and underachievers in schools?
Because he brings up the fact how a test in school doesn't determine how smart a child is. You can be smart in different ways it's just how you use it that determines if you're an over or underachiever.
6) What territory do you map on a daily basis? What words help you map that territory?
MSU. And words that help me map that territory are the names of the buildings.
