Study Notes
Language Development in Children
- Phonology involves the set of sounds used in a language, while morphology involves the meaningful combinations of these sounds.
- Semantics deals with meaningful units such as words and phrases, syntax involves the rules guiding word combinations, and pragmatics includes sociolinguistic knowledge and nonverbal signals.
- The universal sequence of language acquisition starts with prelingual stage where infants produce sounds, coo, and babble, then understand turn-taking and use preverbal gestures before comprehending language and developing vocabulary.
- Language comprehension develops before expressive language, with children initially uttering single words and then progressing to simple sentences.
- Children learn new words through fast mapping and may make errors such as overextension and underextension during the holophrastic phase, and overregularization during the telegraphic phase.
- More knowledgeable others can support language development through turn-taking, modeling, and engaging in conversation with children.
- Learning multiple languages initially slows acquisition and limits vocabulary, but ultimately provides cognitive and sociocultural benefits.
- Early exposure to languages is important for retaining phonemic distinctions, and children learn sign language more easily before puberty.
- Cochlear implants provide access to the speaking/hearing world but may limit access to sign language and require significant rehabilitation and training.
- Deaf individuals advocate for good access to both sign and speech, and support for deaf institutions and organizations.
- To check learning on emotional development, it is best to refer to the learning objectives and respond to the questions at the end of each module.
- Emotional and self-concept development can be assessed by responding to the questions at the end of each module in the study material.
