Stimuli For the stimuli, the same female native British English speaker used for Delle Luche et al. (2016) recorded 40 tokens of each word, “mummy” and “bummy”, in isolation and in child-directed speech, which were then narrowed down to 8 sound files. The tokens were manipulated for the ones that sounded the same with similar word patterns. All the files lasted approximately 24 seconds, and the tokens were normalised for amplitude with Praat (Weenink, 2010). Both “mummy” and “bummy” tokens were chosen on the basis of having approximately similar duration, intensity and pitch, as to select the ones with trochaic patterns. The average duration, intensity and pitch was totalled using Praat, and then compared between the experimenters, as presented in Table 1. Four different orders of 13 were created. With that, 8 conditions were put together, half starting with “mummy”, and the other half starting with “bummy”. All infants …show more content…

Inter-rater reliability was measured using an intra-class correlation coefficient, through which a high degree of reliability was found between their measurements of duration of the CP as a whole word (ICC = .975, 95% CI [.936, .992], F (12, 24) = 39.663 p < .001), and its initial phoneme (ICC = .985, 95% CI [.962, .995], F (12, 24) = 66.702, p < .001), the intensity of the CP as a whole word (ICC = .854, 95% CI [.929, .952], F (12, 24) = 6.854, p < .001) and its initial phoneme (ICC = .901, 95% CI [.749, .967], F (12, 24) = 10.106, p < .001), and the pitch of the CP (ICC = .910, 95% CI [.772, .970], F (12, 24) = 11.133, p < .001). Similarly, a high degree of reliability was also found between their measurements of duration of the MP as a whole word (ICC = .994, 95% CI [.985, .998], F (12, 24) = 169.92, p < .001), and its initial phoneme (ICC = .959, 95% CI [.896, .986], F (12, 24) = 24.334, p < .001), and the pitch of the MP (ICC = 1.000, 95% CI [.999, 1.000], F (12, 24) = 4212.1, p

Throughout this semester, SPAA 270 students have learned about five components of language. These components of language will be the focus of my language analysis on Ashlyn, a nine-year-old girl, who is in a regular education classroom. It is significant to recognize and understand if a child is on track with their speech at a young age in order to prevent future complications. After communicating with Ashlyn for over forty minutes, I can easily analyze her speech and decide if the speech is normal for her age. The five components of speech that I studied include syntax, morphology, phonology, semantics, and pragmatics and these are all significant in analyzing a child’s use of language.

In the article “Baby Talk” by Patricia Kuhl, research on how infants learn their first language within a short time is explained. Babies have the special ability to master a language within a few years, something that teenagers and adults have difficulty with. Only recently have scientists such as Patricia Kuhl start to understand how a newborn brain processes and learns language. Infants require two processes to learn a language, mental analyzation and socially interacting with their parents. At the age of six months, a baby enters a special period where their brains analyze their parent’s speech and determine which phonemes out of 800 possible phonemes are used in their first language.

Childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) is a childhood neurological speech sound disorder which is characterized by impairment of the consistency and precision of movements underlying speech with the main impairment consisting of programming and/or planning spatiotemporal aspects of movement sequences resulting in speech sound prosody and production errors (American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, 2007). CAS is present in pediatric populations as contrasted with Apraxia of Speech (AOS) which is an adult diagnosis. Childhood apraxia of speech is considered controversial by some researchers. Shriberg (n.d.) argues that although the diagnostic term is undoubtedly accurate, it has not yet been backed up by sufficient or compelling research

In this article, Dr. Kuhl explains her reasoning and analysis on language acquisition. She explains how infants apprehend language at a phenomenal rate and the way they are able to do it has yet to be figured out. However, recent findings from conducted studies show infants use methods to figure out ways display patterns. The patterns eventually find new phonemes and words. Similar to songbirds, cooperation and collaborations with humans inspire the way they apprehend speech.

Evidence does suggest that the Phonological loop is made up of two components which are the phonological loop and the Articulatory Control process, the evidence suggests the phonological similarity effect, unattended speech effect, word length effect, articulatory suppression experiments and also including neuropsychological evidence. The Phonological store, is passive and also stores information in a coded form, the use in involuntary, as information decays in about two seconds if no rehearsal takes place, a small bugger for linguistic information. The phonological coding which would be the speech sounds, would be identical coding for

The sounds are taught in a particular way, not to sound like the letters for example, the sound for t would be taught as this short sound and not as 'tee' or 'tuh. The simpler and most commonly used sounds will be the first to be taught, as these are also straightforward (s, a, t, l, p and n).These can then be put together to form many simple three- letter words, which can be sounded out by children from a relatively early stage (for example, p-i-n' or c-u-p). Children's confidence usually develops quickly and they can sound out different words quite easily as they start to blend combinations of sounds together an important stage of this process. As children

The Ancient Egyptians believed in a journey of life after death. They believed one’s body must be kept whole and preserved known as mummification. If they are successful in their afterlife journey, then they would achieve immortality. I chose the Mummy and Cartonnage of Hor for my Egyptian exploration item because I have always thought Egyptian cartonnages were beautiful and detailed and their techniques used to make them fascinated me. I have always felt Ancient Egyptian “obsession” of death stemmed from the old age question of “what happen when we die?”

4a, 1998). These collected utterances are then used to analyze the components of language. This form of observational assessment can be beneficial in providing an assessor with information regarding a person’s phonological processes, level of vocabulary, and for individuals up to age five years, mean length of utterance (van Kuelen, et.al. 4a, 1998).

The mental lexicon grows as we learn new words, and it is accessed every time we communicate, whether that be in the spoken mode or the written mode. A huge question that is asked by psycholinguists is: ‘how is the mental lexicon organised?’, and looking at Priming Experiments can help us to determine the answer to this question. Priming experiments are frequently used to find out more about the mental lexicon, in particular the

The amount of AAE features in production increases with grade level however, the students in higher grades had more opportunities to produce features of AAE due to the increased number of words read by the child. DDM was used to control differences in amount of words read by each child. Phonological features and combination features were used more often than morphosyntactic features. Phonological features produced most frequently among participants included monophthongization of dipthongs, substitutions for voiced and voiceless “th” and consonant cluster reduction. Half of the morphosyntactic features were used by participants who spoke AAE.

The speech pathologist targeted these goals through a clinician-directed approach. He utilized drills to elicit the targeted responses (i.e. banana, orange, bread). Through the use of pictures, he asked (i.e. what is this) the child to name the item presented. The task was highly structured and controlled. During training, the words expected were repeated a number of times before testing the child.
