4. Homework for first Tuesday back First attempt at analysis of a transcript. Using this transcript as evidence, what can you tell me about theories as to how children learn language? Aim to write about 2 sides of A4.

5. Fern – pens? Any recordings of children talking as per homework last week (I’ve had Courtney’s)?

12. In what order do you think children typically begin to work out the meaning of words? That’s a peach and that’s an apple – both taste sweet and are fruit. A round sweet object in a bowl is likely to be an apple. There are different kinds of round sweet objects in bowls.

Hyponymy – the overall linguistic structure of how words are categorised semantically Hypernym – the overarching category eg. fruit Hyponym – a more specific word within that category – apple, banana, peach….

18. Jean Piaget 1896 – 1980 Theorised that children are active learners and have an innate will to use their social environment to learn new words. Hence the constant ‘wassat’s and ‘why’s that can drive parents to distraction!

19. Piaget came up with 4 stages of language development: 1
Piaget came up with 4 stages of language development: 1. Sensiromotor (up to 2) – experience of the world is sensory and generally non-verbal 2. Pre-operational (2-7) – early verbalisation – child generally speaks to/about themselves – limited communication with others 3. Concrete operational 7-11 – logical thought processes come into play – ideas extended/shared with others 4. Formal operational abstract reasoning begins to develop.

26. Daddy took my teddy away. She told him to stay inside
Daddy took my teddy away. She told him to stay inside. Break these very simple sentences down into their component grammatical parts. Remember: object/affected subject/agent preposition/location verb/action pronoun/agent/affected pre-modification/adjective/possessor

27. Why do words change? Derivational morphology is when the word changes and its word class also changes eg. a noun (beauty) becomes an adjective (beautiful) Inflectional morphology is when a word changes, but not its word class. Eg ‘he’ (subject/agent pronoun) becomes ‘him’ (object/affected pronoun).
You will identify word classes/functions D
You will explain the difference between derivational and inflectional morphology C
You will create sentences that focus on the use of certain word classes B+

28. Which of the following shows a virtuous error with ‘derivational’ morphology and which shows a virtuous error with ‘inflectional’ morphology Last night I dream. You speak strange. I am happy, but yesterday I am sad. Me want a big ball. I eat slow. I want a tasty!

29. Grammar game using ‘new’ terminology
Grammar game using ‘new’ terminology. Write a sentence with an ‘agent’ (subject) underlined. Write a sentence with an ‘action’ (verb) underlined. Write a sentence with a ‘possessor’ (possessive pronoun) underlined. Write a sentence with an ‘affected’ (object) underlined. Write a sentence with a ‘location’ (prepositional phrase) underlined. If you are happier using old style grammatical terminology (subject/ object/ preposition/ pronoun/ possessive pronoun), that’s OK – it’ simply that when reading around the topic, you may find linguists are using different terminology.
