Chapter 10: Language and Communication Module 10.1 The Road to Speech Module 10.2 Learning the Meanings of Words Module 10.3 Speaking in Sentences Module 10.4 Using Language to Communicate Children and Their Development, 3/e by Robert Kail

10.1 The Road to Speech Elements of Language Perceiving Speech First Steps to Speech

10.1 Elements of Language Language: a system that relates sounds (or gestures) to meaning Phonology: sounds of a language Semantics: study of words and their meanings Grammar: rules used to describe the structure of a language Pragmatics: how people use language to communicate effectively

10.1 Perceiving Speech Phonemes are sounds that are the building blocks of language Young babies can hear phonemes, even those not in their language Infants can identify individual words Infant-directed speech may help children learn language Cochlear implants improve language develoment in deaf children

10.1 First Steps to Speech 2 months--cooing (vowel-like sounds) 5 or 6 months--babbling (speechlike sound that has no meaning) 7 or 8 months--babbling includes intonation (rising or falling pitch) Infants’ babbling is influenced by the speech they hear

10.2 Learning the Meanings of Words Understanding Words as Symbols Styles of Learning Language Fast Mapping Meanings to Words Encouraging Word Learning

10.2 Understanding Words as Symbols Infants understand that words are symbols (something that stands for something else) Gestures are symbols that children start to use around the time they begin to talk

10.2 Styles of Learning Language Referential style: vocabularies consist mainly of words that name objects, persons, or actions Referential children use language as intellectual tool Expressive style: vocabularies include many social phrases that are used as a single word (e.g., “go-away,” “I-want-it”) Expressive children use language as a social tool

10.2 Fast Mapping Meanings to Words Children learn words too rapidly (naming explosion) to be starting from scratch on each one Fast mapping: learning word meanings so rapidly that they can’t be considering all possible meanings Joint attention, constraints on word names, sentence cues, and cognitive growth help children learn word meanings Underextensions and overextensions are 2 common errors

10.2 Encouraging Word Learning Speak frequently, but with not at children Name objects that are the focus of child’s attention, use speech that uses different words and is grammatically sophisticated, and respond promptly to child Read books and ask children questions Sesame Street helps (because it’s interactive) Bilingual children learn language as rapidly as monolinguals

The Effect of Asking Children Questions 10.2: Encouraging Word Learning

10.3 Speaking in Sentences From Two-Word Speech to Complex Sentences How Do Children Acquire Grammar?

10.3 From Two-Word Speech to Complex Sentences Speech is often telegraphic in 2-year-olds Gradually add grammatical morphemes (words or endings of words that make a sentence grammatical) Easiest morphemes mastered first Rule-based learning so errors of overregularization occur

“Wug” Stimuli 10.3: From Two-Word Speech to Complex Sentences

10.3 How Do Children Acquire Grammar? Language input is important but learning is more than just imitation because children produce novel sentences and children’s speech has its own grammar Neural mechanisms help children find regularities (specific brain regions, critical period) Grammar may be learned through powerful cognitive skills that detect regularities in the environment Language and grammar mastered in the context of social interactions

10.4 Using Language to Communicate Taking Turns Speaking Effectively Listening Well

10.4 Taking Turns Even before children speak, parents model turn taking Not true in some non-Western cultures By 2 years, spontaneous turn taking occurs By 3 years, children will try to elicit a response if listener fails to respond

10.4 Speaking Effectively Toddlers’ first conversations about themselves Preschoolers adjust their speech based on the age and needs of the listener and context School-age children speak differently to adults and peers African American children may switch back and forth between African American English and standard English Understand that when listeners misunderstand, speaker needs to do something

Restating Preference When Listener Misunderstands 10.4: Speaking Effectively

10.4 Listening Well Preschoolers often don’t detect ambiguities in messages or they assume they understood the speaker’s intent Preschoolers are more likely to believe confusing statements or statements that contradict their beliefs when told by a parent instead of a classmate Understanding of non-literal meaning (sarcasm and metaphor) develops slowly
