Study Notes
Nature: Rationalist Paradigm
- The rationalist perspective suggests that language is innate, and humans are predisposed to learning it.
- Language is seen as a complex, organized system governed by biological principles.
- The text argues that the capacity for language acquisition is biologically predetermined, meaning that humans are born with the capacity to learn language.
- The text positions reading and writing as learned skills that require specific instruction and practice, contrasting them with innate language acquisition.
Social-Pragmatic Models
- Social-Pragmatic models emphasize the social and communicative functions of language.
- Speech acts, including perlocutions, illocutions, and locutions, are explored.
- Research highlights the importance of understanding the communicative intentions of others and expressing own intentions.
- Studies have examined the unique ways adults speak to children, demonstrating the influence of social context on language development.
- The text acknowledges how social-pragmatic models have contributed to understanding Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and its impact on communication.
Implications for Therapy
- The nature perspective informs therapy by focusing on potential deficits in innate language mechanisms.
- This perspective often guides interventions for children with Specific Language Impairment (SLI), targeting specific difficulties in syntax and morphology.
- Therapy goals emphasize expanding vocabulary, sentence structures, and grammatical morphemes.
- Intervention strategies aim to enhance the child's ability to process and interpret linguistic signals.
Intentionality Model
- The Intentionality model reflects an integrated perspective on language acquisition.
- The model emphasizes the interaction between innate abilities and the social context of language learning.
- The text positions the Intentionality model as valuable for understanding language development in diverse contexts.
###Â Early Theories of Language Acquisition
- The text introduces the Transformational Generative Grammar theory, which posits a deep structure, representing meaning, and a surface structure, representing the form of an utterance.
- Transformational rules were proposed to explain the relationship between deep and surface structures.
- With the advent of Semantic Generativists, the focus shifted from syntax to the role of semantics in language acquisition.
- Research in the early 1960s focused on the emergence of grammar in young children.
- Further research in the late 1960s and early 1970s led to a greater understanding of the role of semantic knowledge in the development of syntax.
