Metalinguistic Development
Metalinguistic Development
The ability to use language to think about language. It includes understanding the sounds, structure, and meaning of words.
Fast Mapping
Fast Mapping
The quick and initial association of a word with a concept, often based on a single exposure. It's like a first impression.
Slow Mapping
Slow Mapping
Gradual refinement of a word's meaning through multiple encounters and experiences. It's like learning the nuances of a word.

Study Notes
Language Development in School-Aged Years
- Language input shifts from spoken to text-based.
- Literate language development is crucial.
- Metalinguistic development is important, including understanding how words work.
Semantic Development
- Fast mapping: Quickly associating new words with meanings.
- Slow mapping: Gradually refining word meanings over time.
- Semantic features: Identifying key attributes of words (e.g., color, shape).
- Semantic network: Organizing words into interconnected categories.
- Hierarchical categorization: Structuring words based on broader and narrower categories (superordinate, subordinate).
- Semantic flexibility: Understanding words with multiple meanings.
- Inferencing: Drawing conclusions based on context.
- Contextual cues: Using clues from surrounding information to understand words.
- Background/text/personal knowledge: Prior knowledge needed to understand complex meanings.
- Metalinguistic awareness: Understanding of words and language.
Word Retrieval Deficits
- Difficulty accurately and quickly retrieving words.
- Errors include fillers, substitutions, and circumlocutions (talking around a word).
- Common errors include false starts, name errors and tip-of-tongue phenomena (slip of tongue, twist of the tongue).
Semantic Deficits in Language Learners with Disabilities (LLD)
- Limited vocabulary.
- Poorly organized semantic networks.
- Limited semantic flexibility (difficulty with multiple meanings).
- Difficulty with multiple meanings.
- Homographs, homonyms, homophones: Words with similar sounds or spellings, but different meanings.
Semantic Ambiguities
- Words with confusing meanings.
- Examples: phonological, lexical, surface-structure and deep-structure.
- Importance of understanding figurative language including verbal humor, relational terms, similes, metaphors, idioms and hyperbole, irony.
Principles of Semantic Intervention
- Vocabulary should be thoroughly introduced using multiple contexts..
- Strategies to teach vocabulary include asking for definitions, or using contextual cues.
- Develop organized semantic networks.
- Understand word retrieval strategies.
- Use vocabulary development techniques such as key word or syllable segmentation methods.
What Words to Teach
- Focus on curriculum-based vocabulary (tiers 1, 2, and 3).
- Include various parts of speech, especially verbs.
