1children learn a language by simply memorizing words and sentences
- ATrue
- BFalse
2children are able to comprehend novel utterances sentences that they have never heard before
- ATrue
- BFalse
3children should explicitly be taught the "rules" so that they can use the language creatively
- ATrue
- BFalse
4usually adults are more aware of the phonological, morphological, syntactic, and semantic rules then are the children
- ATrue
- BFalse
5children make up rules of the language as they go along
- ATrue
- BFalse
6a 40 month old child who says "I got my feets wet" is not speaking correctly. he/she will need a lot of instruction from his/her parents before getting the grammar right
- ATrue
- BFalse
7it is not useful to correct a child grammar. corrections by adults appear to be essentially without value to the child
- ATrue
- BFalse
8child plays with the vocal apparatus, though not yet making linguistic noises
- A3-12 months
- B6-12 months
- C8-18 months
- D18-24 months
- E2-4 years
9child is playing with linguistic sounds but for the child the sound may not yet carry meaning. all children do this, even deaf children to an extent
- A3-12 months
- B6-12 months
- C8-18 months
- D18-24 months
- E2-4 years
10not simply labeling objects, the child uses one word to convey meanings which will later by expressed by complex phrases and sentences. the child conveys meaning through the use of intonation
"where are you?", "whats that?", "no" can be assertion, "I don't want to go" or an imperative
The child is able to understand and perceive many more phonological contrasts than he can produce- A3-12 months
- B6-12 months
- C8-18 months
- D18-24 months
- E2-4 years
11two words are strung together with syntactic and semantic relations
ex: daddy bye bye, mommy book, boo-all gone- A3-12 months
- B6-12 months
- C8-18 months
- D18-24 months
- E2-4 years
12function words omitted. a child uses mostly content words. syntax is evident at this stage
- A3-12 months
- B6-12 months
- C8-18 months
- D18-24 months
- E2-4 years
13strength: at least some of the language is acquired through hearing and reproducing those sounds
weakness: this theory does not explain how children can come up with novel utterances that they have not heard before, ex: my nose is crying
weakness: not all language is acquired through imitation. even when a child tries to imitate , they often can't- Aimitation theory
- Bcorrection/reinforcement theory
- Cconstruction of rules theory
14strength: maybe some language is acquried through correction by adults, when the child uses the wrong forms
weakness: parents rarely correct children's grammar errors. instead, parents seem to focus more on the content rather than the grammar. in particular, parents focus more on whether or not the child statement is true
weakness: even if the adults attempt to correct the child speech, it seems to fail especially if the child is of a young age- Aimitation theory
- Bcorrection/reinforcement theory
- Cconstruction of rules theory
15strength: sometimes children overgeneralize and use a rule where it doesn't fit. an adult would never use it in that situation: bringed, goed, singed, talked, eated, doed
strength: children seem to be actively involved in figuring out the rules of the language as they go along
weakness: not all language acquisition may be acquired in this manner- Aimitation theory
- Bcorrection/reinforcement theory
- Cconstruction of rules theory
16the defense of language
- A1. the behaviour emerges before it is necessary
2. the child does not make a conscious decision to begin to learn a language
3. the emergence of language is not triggered by external events. however, the surrounding environment must be sufficiently rich for a child's language to develop adequately
4. there is likely to be a critical period for the acquisition of language
5. direct teaching and intensive practice have relatively little effect on a child's ability to learn a language
6. there is a regular sequence of milestones as the language develops in a child and these milestones can usually be correlated with age and other aspects of the child's development - Bn/a
- A1. the behaviour emerges before it is necessary
