This document discusses various aspects of language and decision-making. It describes the core components of language, including phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics. It also examines theories of how language is acquired and whether other animals possess language-like communication abilities. The document then explores models of the decision-making process and common heuristics and biases that can influence problem solving, such as availability bias and belief bias. Problem-solving skills and overcoming obstacles to effective problem solving are also addressed.
