LIN 3713 Lecture Notes - Lecture 5: Phonological Development, Speech Disorder, Phonological Awareness
Document Summary
Syntactic development is children"s internalization of the rules of language that govern how words are organized into sentences. The differences in sentence types reside in how words are grammatically organized at a surface level. Interrogative sentences involve the act of questioning: complex syntax: linking phrases and clauses. From age 3 years onward, children begin to master the art of conjoining and embedding clauses to create sentences of increasing length and increasing syntactic complexity. When children"s utterance length averages 3. 5 morphemes in length, sentence embedding emerges. At this point children move from simple syntax to complex syntax. Phonological development involves acquiring the rules of language that govern the sound structure of syllable and words. Phonological building blocks: there are three key building blocks in phonological development, using cues to segment streams of speech, developing a phonemic inventory, and, becoming phonologically aware, cues to segment streams of speech.
