Phonological And Phonemic Awareness Flashcards
(21 cards)
Phonology
A branch of linguistics that examines how speech sounds are organised and used in language
Phones
Smallest sounds of speech
Phonemes
The smallest meaningful elements of speech
Factors influencing children’s language acquisition
Age
Socioeconomics
Opportunities for interaction
Cognitive development
Newborns and sound discrimination
Recognise mothers voice
Mother tongue over others
Vowel and consonant discrimination at four weeks
What children need to acquire a language?
Essential units of the sounds of a language and system of combination (phonology)
Distinction between perception and production
What differences are linguistically significant and what aren’t
Acquisition of phonology
Know when to dismiss insignificant sound variations and to treat sounds as equivalent even though they may differ
Discover what sound combinations are not possible in language

Phonology acquisition in school
Develops as children grow and speech development is associated with cognitive speech organs and muscle development
