It also advances the notion of 'phonological saliency' which explains the cross-linguistic similarities and differences in children's phonological development.
Download or read book The Phonological Development of Five to Seven year old Cantonese English Bilingual Children in New Zealand written by Hin Ting Henrietta Lee and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present study examined the phonological development of 15 typically developing successive Cantonese-English bilingual children aged 5;0 to 7;11 in New Zealand. The study aimed to provide normative data to aid Speech-Language Therapists (SLTs) working in New Zealand in diagnosing Cantonese-English bilingual clients. Using similar methodologies from previous studies of phonological development on monolingual children (Dodd, Holm, Zhu & Crosbie, 2003) and bilingual children (e.g. Holm & Dodd, 2006), children's phonological acquisition, phonological accuracy and phonological error patterns were analyzed and compared to available data from monolingual and bilingual studies. It was found that language dominance interacted with all aspects of phonological development. For phonological acquisition, all children have acquired the majority of the phonemes in Cantonese and English. Non-Cantonese-dominant bilinguals were slower in the acquisition of Cantonese phonemes compared to their Cantonesedominant bilingual peers, whose rate of acquisition was comparable to monolingual Cantonese children. Bilinguals were comparable to local monolingual English children in the acquisition of English phonemes. For phonological accuracy, most children obtained high levels of phonological accuracy (close to or above 90%) in both languages. However, due to small sample sizes within each age group, no statistical analyses were conducted. Overall, bilinguals have caught up in terms of English accuracy to the levels of their local monolingual peers. However, Cantonese accuracy was slightly lower than monolinguals, possibly related to first language attrition. Non-Cantonese-dominant bilinguals obtained noticeably lower accuracy in Cantonese than English, while Cantonese-dominant obtained similar or higher accuracy in Cantonese than English. Analyses of phonological error patterns revealed that bilinguals produced both typical and atypical error patterns, consistent with previous studies. Some atypical patterns possibly arise from interference across the bilingual's languages. Interference typically occurred by the dominant language influencing the non-dominant language. Two atypical patterns, denasalization and orally released final nasals were generally not found in bilingual studies, possibly as a result of contact between Chinese dialects. The study highlighted the importance of considering clients' language background and language dominance in clinical work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together a collection of empirical studies on phonological acquisition and disorder of monolingual children speaking different languages (English, German, Putonghua, Cantonese, Maltese, Telugu, Colloquial Egyptian Arabic and Turkish) and bilingual children speaking different language pairs (Spanish-English, Cantonese-English, Mirpuri/Punjabi/Urdu-English, Welsch-English, Arabic-English and Putonghua-Cantonese). The research findings provide much-needed baseline information for clinical assessment and diagnosis as well as valuable evidence concerning theories of language acquisition and the role of the ambient language.
Download or read book Multilingual Aspects of Fluency Disorders written by Peter Howell and published by Multilingual Matters. This book was released on 2011-05-11 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains contributions by scholars working on diverse aspects of speech who bring their findings to bear on the practical issue of how to treat stuttering in different language groups and in multilingual speakers. The book considers classic issues in speech production research, as well as whether regions of the brain that are affected in people who stutter relate to areas used intensively in fluent bilingual speech. It then reviews how formal language properties and differential use of parts of language affect stuttering in English, and then compares these findings to work on stuttering in a variety of languages. Finally, the book addresses methodological issues to do with studies on bilingualism and stuttering; and discusses which approach is appropriate in the treatment of bilingual and multilingual people who stutter.
Download or read book Early Child Cantonese written by Shek Tse and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2011-08-29 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first publication on record that systematically and comprehensively addresses the acquisition and development of Cantonese in early childhood. It draws upon evidence from up-to-date reviews of associated literature, on the outcomes of numerous research studies conducted by the authors and on the outcomes of an in-depth study of the largest corpus of early childhood Cantonese. To supplement and illuminate published trends in the literature, carefully gathered reliable and valid empirical data are critically scrutinized. The evidence is used to clarify and examine theoretical assumptions and to outline putative developmental trends in early childhood Cantonese pragmatics.

Subsequent chapters address speech sound acquisition, how the disorder manifests in different languages, cultural contexts, and speakers, and addresses diagnosis, assessment and intervention. The research chapters synthesize available research across a wide range of languages. A unique feature of this book are the chapters that translate research into clinical practice. These chapters provide real-life vignettes for specific geographical or linguistic contexts.
Download or read book Mandarin Competence of Chinese English Bilingual Preschoolers written by Hock Huan Goh and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-11-03 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides readers with a detailed sketch of the Mandarin competence of Chinese children in Singapore from different home language backgrounds. Their Mandarin competence is defined in terms of lexical diversity, syntactic complexity and code-switching tendency. The findings presented show that there are statistical differences in lexical diversity and syntactic complexity among the compared groups of children, and these differences in linguistic competence were found to be positively correlated to increased Mandarin exposure at home. They also demonstrate that there are statistical differences in code-switching tendency among the groups of children compared, which were found to be negatively correlated to increased exposure to Mandarin at home. A general relationship between home language exposure and Mandarin competence was established, although this relationship was found to be volatile, especially among children who are more bilingually exposed. This book shares these findings with linguists, language educators, and language policymakers, both local and international.
Download or read book An Anthology of Bilingual Child Phonology written by Elena Babatsouli and published by Multilingual Matters. This book was released on 2020-06-22 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited book is a collection of studies on protolanguage phonology, referring to the development of children’s autonomous linguistic systems from their first meaningful forms to complete cognitive and articulatory acquisition of language. The volume comprises chapters on child bilingual phonological development, understood as the acquisition or use of more than one linguistic code, whether actual languages, dialects, or communication modes, in an array of contexts. Such contexts include endogenous and exogenous bilingualism, heritage language, bilectalism, trilingualism, and typical and atypical use. The contributed works here will be of interest to researchers and postgraduate students investigating language acquisition in bi-/multilingual settings, as well as those working on child phonological development across a variety of languages.
Download or read book Evaluating Theories of Language written by Karen Dodd and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-04-30 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One approach to the study of language has been to describe people whose ability to communicate is impaired. Some researchers have argued that it is possible to identify the component mental processes that contribute to the ability to communicate by describing the ways in which language can break down. Other researchers have expressed doubts about the extent to which data from impairment reflects normal language function. This volume reflects the problems of constructing theory of how the normal brain deals with language from data from impaired individuals from the perspective of a range of disciplines: psycholinguistics, linguistics, neurophysiology and speech-language pathology. The chapters include critiques of methodology; application of new technology; the study of bilingual people; and cross-linguistic studies. A range of language skills is discussed (phonology, prosody, syntax, semantics, reading and spelling) in the context of both developmental and acquired impairments (hearing loss, cerebellar dysarthria, sub-cortical aphasia, cortical aphasia, phonological disorder, and dyslexia). This book icludes contributions from researchers and clinicians on both sides of the Atlantic as well as from Australia and Hong Kong.
Download or read book Trilingual Education of Uyghur Children written by Wei Xiaobao and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-04-29 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given the differences in the orthographic structure of the Uyghur, Chinese and English languages, this study used a mixed-method approach to systematically describe and analyze the phonological awareness of Uyghur bilingual children as English learners and its contributions to their trilingual literacy acquisition and development. Focusing on the development of these learners' phonological awareness in Uyghur, Chinese and English, this study explored the influences of Uyghur and Chinese learning on the formation of their English phonological awareness and the roles of different components of phonological awareness in their trilingual literacy development. Based on the characteristics of the phonetic structure in Uyghur, Chinese and English and the development of Uyghur children's phonological awareness in these languages, a Chinese phonetic identification training and Uyghur–Chinese–English comprehensive phonetic training program (including intensive phoneme category contrast training and phonics training) was designed to explore whether such targeted phonetic identification training can effectively improve these children's phonological awareness in Chinese and English and thus further promote their trilingual literacy development. This book will appeal to researchers and students interested in the fields of psycholinguistics, language acquisition and multilingual education.
Download or read book Reading Development in Chinese Children written by Catherine McBride-Chang and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2003-12-30 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text reviews both similarities and unique cultural, linguistic, and script differences of Chinese relative to alphabetic reading, and even across Chinese regions. Chinese reading acquisition relies upon children's strongly developing analytic skills, as highlighted here. These 16 chapters present state-of-the-art research on diverse aspects of Chinese children's reading development. This edited volume presents research on Chinese children's reading development across Chinese societies. Authors from China, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Taiwan, among others, present the latest findings on how Chinese children learn to read. Reading acquisition in Chinese involves some parameters typically not encountered in some other orthographies, such as English. For example, Chinese readers in different regions might speak different, mutually unintelligible languages, be taught to read with or without the aid of a phonetic coding system, and learn different scripts. This book both implicitly and explicitly considers these and other contextual issues in relation to developmental and cognitive factors involved in Chinese literacy acquisition. One of the clearest themes to emerge from this volume is that, across regions, Chinese children, despite lack of explicit teaching of phonetic or semantic character components, learn to read largely by integrating visible print-sound and print-meaning connections. Rather than learning to read Chinese characters by rote, as is sometimes mistakenly believed, these children are analytic learners. Chapters in this book also cover such topics as Chinese children's reading comprehension, cognitive characteristics of good and poor readers, and reading strategies of bilingual and biscriptal readers. This book is a useful reference for anyone interested in understanding either developing or skilled reading of Chinese or for those interested in literacy learning across cultures.
Download or read book Language Disorders in Speakers of Chinese written by Sam-po Law and published by Multilingual Matters. This book was released on 2009 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Research interest in Chinese language impairments can be traced back to the 1930s. Despite the significant advances made in this field over the past two decades, this body of work has not received the attention it deserves. This book fills a gap in the field and represents the latest research in Chinese language disorders in children and adults. The work presented in this volume addresses theoretical and clinical issues relevant to specific language impairment in children, developmental dyslexia, phonological impairment in children and adults, and acquired dyslexia and dysgraphia. The book will appeal to interdisciplinary researchers from cognitive psychology, linguistics, and neurology with interests in the Chinese language, speech-language therapists working with Chinese-speaking clients, educationists, in particular language teachers of children learning to read and write Chinese, as well as neuroscientists. It will serve as a good reference book for advanced level undergraduate courses or graduate courses in speech/language pathologies and psycholinguistics."--Jacket.
