Kristen Thomsen Assignment #3B 14. Describe how speech-sound and language development coincide with and depend on one another. Speech sound development focuses on articulation and how sounds are produced, such as -th, -sh, and -m. Language development is the process in which children can use and understand language early in childhood. At the age of 3, only 75% of language is intelligible. These 2 works together to form and complete formal language in childhood. 15. In which language stage do children experience immense semantic growth? The language stage in which children experience immense sematic growth is the language-for-language stage. 16. Metaphors and idioms are considered what type of language? How do they develop? Metaphors and Idioms are formulaic language and are developed through a child's increased understanding of conceptual knowledge. 17. Why are developing literacy skills, even in the prelinguistic stage of development, important? The prelinguistic stage of development is the stage of life before a child's first spoken word. Children learn about books, how to hold them and turn the pages, and ultimately answer questions about the illustrations and characters. They learn to distinguish the illustrations from print and may pretend to read a book. During this stage of development, children also learn to hold a crayon and to scribble. They then gain important knowledge from these things and learn the words on the pages even if they can't yet speak. 18. What are the two different ways in which a child acquires a second language? Why is identifying them and understanding them important? The two different ways in which a child acquires a second language are Sequential bilingual course of development and Simultaneous bilingual course of development. sequential bilingual course of development begins learning the second language after third birthday, while simultaneous bilingual course of development are learning two languages before their third birthday. Identifying them and understanding them important because these phenomena demonstrate normally developing language skills in second- language learners and indicate the presence of language difference and not language disorders and allows CD professionals who interact with them to look at what possible cultural/linguistic issue to consider, as well as not erroneously diagnose children with a speech and/or language disorder. 19. List and describe four second-language learner phenomena. Code-mixing: when a person who has acquired two languages uses elements of both in the same utterance or conversation. Language transfer: Making mistakes in their second learning language which is related to the influence of their first language. Silent period: Acquire the new language by listening and comprehending. Subtractive bilingualism: losing skills in their first language while acquiring their second.
20.Will the question related to cultural linguistic issues change across the language development stages? Yes. There are multiple different questions about cultural and linguistic issues that arise when interacting with children learning two languages, such as "What was the child's first language?" or "Which language does the child respond to most consistently?" 21. Knowing that culture can influence language development, what are specific ways in which culture can directly impact language development across each domain of language? Children from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds may be exposed to social games and communication routines important to the family and culture. Book sharing routines are also an influence as they are not a part of some cultures, as some value other aspects of development more highly than literacy development. 22. What are some of the dialects of General American English in the United States, and what are some of the acceptable differences within them across the five domains of language? Those who are monolingual English speakers but speak dialects different from the Standard American English dialect, will show rule-governed differences across the domains of language. Some of the other acceptable differences across the domains of language for four dialects of general American English are African American English, English Influenced by Spanish, English Influenced by Asian Languages, English Influenced by Native-American Languages. There is only four domains of language for dialects of general American English.
