The present study aimed at identifying phonological processes in 2.6 years to 6 years typically developing Tamil speaking children. Thirty typically developing Tamil speaking children, age ranged from 2.6 years to 6 years participated in the present study. They were divided into 3 groups with 10 children in each group divided in one year interval. Totally 160 meaningful di-syllabic and tri-syllabic words in combination of 18 consonants, 10 vowels and two dipthongs in initial, medial and final positions were used to assess. Results revealed that thirty seven phonological processes were observed in children. The present study identified substitution processes was the highest occurrence than other processes. Although the processes and occurrence …show more content…

However, vowel fronting, vowel lowering, vowel shortening, dipthongation and and monophthongation were observed in all the age groups compared to other process. Among this four main categorization of processes highest number of occurrence was observed in substitution, SSP, vowel processes and assimilation in younger age group than older age group (Fig.1). Overall, this study found thirty seven processes to be exhibited in the Tamil speaking children in the age range of 2.6 years to 6 years. It was noticed that the processes are decreases as the age increases in children and frequency of occurrences also decreased in older age group. The declining use of phonological processes with increasing age has been reported in across languages including English (Grunwell, 1982; Hodson and Paden, 1983; Haelsig and Madison, 1986; Preisser et al., 1988; Roberts et al., 1990), Malayalam(Sameer, 1998; Anilsam,1999), Kannada (Sunil, 1998; Jayashree,19990. In this investigation, a phonological process was said to be persisting even if present in a single child. Additionally, a phonological process was defined as persisting if it occurred even once in the speech of the child. Lowe (1994) …show more content…

Both of Alfred Hitchcock’s films, North by Northwest and Rear Window, were great movies with lots of suspense. The suspense, however, would not have been created without the entire mise-en-scene of the movies. Hitchcock was a master at using the elements of lighting, sound, and cinematography to heighten the suspense in his movies. The first key element of mise-en-scene that played a significant role in both movies was lighting.

There are many factors that can affect a child’s language and communication. Some of these factors can be positive; however, some can be negative. A cultural factor affecting emergent literacy could be children who have English as an additional language (EAL) this is because they know more of their native language than they do English and can be difficult to grasp another language at such a young age. Also some EAL children may have the knowledge of the English language and can speak the language however; their self-esteem, self-confidence and shyness could play a part in this and therefore may not be willing to use the English language. Also, EAL children may find it difficult to grasp the English alphabet.

Their first words are late and may be missing sounds. They may only utilize a few consonant and vowel sounds. And they have a problem combining sounds and may have disrupted or lengthened transitions between sounds.

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

In this research article Miguel Lazaro, Elena Garayzabal, and Esther Moraleda discuss the differences on morphological and phonological processing between children with and without Down Syndrome. The purpose of this experiment was to deeply explore the linguistic process in normal growing children and children with Down Syndrome. The first experiment they conducted was to look at how new words are formed with prefixes and suffixes. Perfectly healthy children and a children with Down Syndrome were spilt up in to three groups. One group was based on mental age, the second based on the same vocabulary knowledge, and the third was the children with Down Syndrome.

Ever since the structure of DNA was discovered in 1953, there have been various advancements.(1) This includes a powerful tool that allows us to modify the genes of human embryos, called CRISPR. Currently it is not legal to modify an embryo and let it develop, but should we ever?

Bilingual Kids have better chances of succeeding than on language kids Learning languages is a treasure. This is a sentence that we know it holds some truth, however we can’t claim for sure that our bilingual kids are smarter than the kids who learn one language. Well, a study has shown that learning languages from a very early stage is extremely important in the brain development of the child, especially in the areas responsible for decision-making and problem-solving. Moreover, as soon as the child gets to 11 month you can start to expose him/her to another language and begin with developing his brain and encourage brain activities.
