Speech and language is not the same thing. Speech is the physical ability of saying something, while language is intellectual. The article showed this difference by asking a child if this was their fish and the adult pronounced the word fish wrong. The child knew that the way fish was said was not right, so they said “No, it’s not my fis.” They could not come up with the accurate speech for fish, but intellectually they knew it was not right. This helps to explain why some children get upset when older people mock them. They know that their speech is inaccurate, and doesn’t want someone to repeatedly state what they are pronouncing wrong.
So language does not impact speech and speech does not affect language. The two are separate entities, and a person can have trouble with either of them. They both can improve with time.
