From: "Human Potential & Development."
Split Justification: Development fundamentally involves both our inner landscape (**Internal World**) and our interaction with everything outside us (**External World**). (Ref: Subject-Object Distinction)..
2
From: "Internal World (The Self)"
Split Justification: The Internal World involves both mental processes (**Cognitive Sphere**) and physical experiences (**Somatic Sphere**). (Ref: Mind-Body Distinction)
3
From: "Cognitive Sphere"
Split Justification: Cognition operates via deliberate, logical steps (**Analytical Processing**) and faster, intuitive pattern-matching (**Intuitive/Associative Processing**). (Ref: Dual Process Theory)
4
From: "Analytical Processing"
Split Justification: Analytical thought engages distinct symbolic systems: abstract logic and mathematics (**Quantitative/Logical Reasoning**) versus structured language (**Linguistic/Verbal Reasoning**).
5
From: "Linguistic/Verbal Reasoning"
Split Justification: This dichotomy separates the receptive aspects of linguistic reasoning, involving the understanding and interpretation of spoken or written language, from the expressive aspects, which involve the formulation and production of spoken or written language. These are distinct, fundamental processes that together encompass all facets of verbal reasoning.
6
From: "Verbal Comprehension"
Split Justification: This split distinguishes between understanding the explicit, directly stated meaning of verbal information and understanding the unstated, implied, or deeper meaning that requires synthesis and deduction. These represent distinct levels of cognitive processing within overall verbal comprehension.
7
From: "Literal Comprehension"
Split Justification: Literal comprehension, while aiming for the explicit meaning, is fundamentally processed through two distinct input modalities: visual (written language) and auditory (spoken language). The cognitive mechanisms for decoding and understanding orthographic symbols differ significantly from those for phonological sounds, making this a fundamental and mutually exclusive dichotomy that comprehensively covers all forms of verbal literal comprehension.
8
From: "Literal Comprehension of Spoken Language"
Split Justification: Literal comprehension of spoken language fundamentally involves understanding the explicit meaning of individual words and phrases (lexical units) as they are heard, and understanding the explicit meaning derived from the grammatical relations and syntactic structure that connect those words within the utterance. These two components are distinct yet essential for full literal comprehension.
9
From: "Literal Comprehension of Spoken Grammatical Relations"
Split Justification: This dichotomy separates the two primary and distinct linguistic mechanisms by which grammatical relations are encoded and comprehended in spoken language. Syntactic structure refers to the arrangement of words and phrases (e.g., word order, constituent grouping), while morphological inflection refers to changes in word forms (e.g., case markers, agreement endings, verb tense suffixes) that signal grammatical roles. These represent fundamentally different types of cues processed during literal comprehension.
10
From: "Comprehension of Spoken Grammatical Relations via Syntactic Structure"
Split Justification: Syntactic structure primarily conveys grammatical relations through two distinct mechanisms: the linear arrangement of words (word order) and systematic variations in word forms (morphology or inflection). This split differentiates the fundamental types of structural cues processed for comprehension.
11
From: "Comprehension of Spoken Grammatical Relations via Word Order Cues"
Split Justification: This dichotomy distinguishes between the comprehension of grammatical relations when word order adheres to the most common or default syntactic structure of the language (canonical) versus when it deviates from that default. Canonical word orders often represent the most straightforward mapping of syntactic roles to thematic roles, while non-canonical orders (e.g., those found in passive constructions, questions, or topicalization) require a different or more complex mapping process. These two categories are mutually exclusive, as any given word order is either canonical or non-canonical within a specific linguistic context, and together they comprehensively cover all instances where word order serves as a cue for understanding spoken grammatical relations.
12
From: "Comprehension via Non-Canonical Word Order Cues"
Split Justification: This dichotomy distinguishes between non-canonical word orders that are inherent and mandatory features of specific grammatical constructions (e.g., passive voice, interrogatives) and those that are optional, chosen by a speaker to achieve particular communicative effects such as emphasis, focus, or discourse coherence. These two categories are mutually exclusive—a non-canonical order is either syntactically compelled by the grammar or pragmatically selected for communicative impact—and together encompass all instances of comprehension relying on non-canonical word order cues.
