Book Understanding Development and Disorder in Cantonese using Language Sample Analysis

Download or read book Understanding Development and Disorder in Cantonese using Language Sample Analysis written by Anita Mei-Yin Wong and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-11-30 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding Development and Disorder in Cantonese using Language Sample Analysis brings together 20 years of research on typical development and Development Language Disorder (DLD) in Cantonese. This book begins with a succinct overview of Cantonese, which is a popular variety of Chinese, a Sino-Tibetan language. The second chapter describes a new framework of the Grammatical Analysis of Cantonese Samples (GACS), which is developed on the basis of functionalist and usage-based theories of language and language development. The third chapter reports on a quantitative analysis, as well as a qualitative description of the development of Cantonese in preschool children using the GACS framework. The book ends with a chapter that presents the linguistic profile of a Cantonese-speaking child with DLD. It also illustrates how to make decisions on intervention targets on the basis of the grammatical and error analysis. The book provides a timely and important addition to the typological diversity of studies in both child language development and disorder. This book is informative for students and practitioners of speech and language therapy, students in early childhood education and Chinese linguistics and researchers in child language development and disorders.

Book Phonological Development and Disorders in Children

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.

Book Development of Pragmatic and Discourse Skills in Chinese Speaking Children

Download or read book Development of Pragmatic and Discourse Skills in Chinese Speaking Children written by Zhu Hua and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2014-05-15 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many years, studies of the development of pragmatic and discourse skills in young children have predominantly focused on English and other European languages, as with the field of child language development in general. This volume, originally published in Chinese Language and Discourse 3:1 (2012), brings together a team of researchers from China, the UK, USA, Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan. It explores the development of pragmatic and discourse skills among Chinese-speaking children by investigating the development of pragmatic features specific to the Chinese language and culture (i.e. the use of null forms and overt forms in self/other reference and time expressions), socio-cultural factors in child-directed speech and comprehension of semiotic resources in children’s early childhood. The studies reported in the volume draw upon data of different kinds including recorded spontaneous speech, corpus, questionnaires and experimental data. The findings not only highlight a number of developmental patterns which may be attributed to the Chinese language(s) and culture, but also contribute to the understanding of some key issues in the development of pragmatic and discourse skills irrespective of linguistic backgrounds.

Book Early Child Cantonese

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.

Abstract: Abstract of thesis entitled The Role of Morphological Awareness In Chinese Developmental Dyslexia Submitted by Hui Luan for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Hong Koiig in August 2005 Chinese is a non-alphabetic and morpheme-based language. For its unique characteristics, many researchers believe that morphological knowledge may play a more important role in reading Chinese than i11 alphabetic languages. Recent research findings have showed that morphological awareness is very important in Chinese reading acquisition and even has more contribution than phonological awareness to predict reading performance in Chinese (McBride-Chang, 2003; Li, 2002; Wang, 1999). However, the role of morphological awareness in Chinese developmental dyslexia has not been examined before. To fill this gap, the aims of the present study were to examine: (a), the unique contribution of morphological awareness to reading among Mandarin-speaking and Cantonese-speaking children; (b), the role of phonological awareness and orthographic awareness in morphological awareness; (c), whether morphological deficit exists in Chinese developmental dyslexia; and (d), the relative contribution of morphological awareness to reading failure as coinpared with other cognitive slulls. To address the first two aims, two groups of average readers speaking Cantonese or Mandarin were recruited and tested on morphological awareness, phonological awareness, rapid naming, phonological memory, orthographic knowledge and visual skills. The results of regression analyses showed that morphological awareness have great and unique contribution to reading ainong the Chinese average readers, and the role of phonological awareness and orthographic awareness in molyhological awareness is significant among Mandarin-speaking and .Cantonese-speaking children respectively. To address the third and fourth aims, two groups of dyslexic children speaking Cantonese or Mandarin, with average readers of the same chronological age (CA) and average readers of the same reading level (RL) as controls, were tested on morphological awareness. The results of group comparison showed that the dyslexic children performed worse than CA controls in nearly all the morphological tasks, but similar to RL controls in most of the morphological tasks. Individual analyses showed that morphological deficit was prevalent for both Cantonese-speaking and Mandarin-speaking children. The present findings were the first time to show the existence and high prevalence of morphological deficit in Chinese developmental dyslexia. The results of individual analyses showed that morphological deficit, phonological awareness deficit and naming speed deficit are three most dominant deficits among Mandarin-speaking dyslexic children, while morphological deficit, naming speed deficit and orthographic deficit are three most dominant deficits among Cantonese-speaking dyslexics.
