EXAM 1 ch 3 Flashcards
(18 cards)
phonological development
acquiring sensitivity to prosodic cues,developing representations of native languages phonemes and producing vowels and consonants
Morphological development
acquiring inflectional morphemes and derivational morphemes
prosodic cues
the stress of language
inflectional morphemes
grammatical morphemes
syntactic develop.
Increasing utterance length, developing complete syntax
semantic develop.
building a lexicon, organizing the lexicon for retrieval
Pragmatic development
developing convo skills, and becoming more sensative to extralinguistic (nonverbal) cues
What is Phonological Development?
acquiring the rules of language that govern the sound structure of syllables and words.
phoneme definition
individual speech sounds in a language that signal a contrast in meaning between two syllables or words. /rake/ and /wake/
Phonological representation
neurological imprint of a phoneme that differentiates from other phonemes.
** when children learn phonemes they learn a mental image of what that phoneme means.
Phonological development: What ways to children develop sensativity to the “phonotactic rules” of ones native language
they learn “legal” orders of sounds and where specific phonemes can and cannot occur.
i.e. a /t/ can follow a /s/ at the end of a word but never at the beginning.
Building block 1: Parsing the stream of speech
Infants use specific cues to parse speech stream into smaller units.
3 cues that help to parse the stream of speech
Prosodic cues
knowledge of word stress patters
knowledge of pausing
prosodic cues
infants use their familiarity of word and syllable stress patterns, or the rhythym of language to break into the speech stream.
Photactic cues:
knowledge of probabilities and immprobablities of syllables
Building block 2:
developing a phonemic inventory
phonological knowledge
the child needs to know what a phoneme sounds like. Internal rep. of the phonemes.
phonological production
expression of phonemes to produce syllables and words
