Download or read book Child Language written by Barbara C. Lust and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2006-09-21 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The remarkable way in which young children acquire language has long fascinated linguists and developmental psychologists alike. Language is a skill that we have essentially mastered by the age of three, and with incredible ease and speed, despite the complexity of the task. This accessible textbook introduces the field of child language acquisition, exploring language development from birth. Setting out the key theoretical debates, it considers questions such as what characteristics of the human mind make it possible to acquire language; how far acquisition is biologically programmed and how far it is influenced by our environment; what makes second language learning (in adulthood) different from first language acquisition; and whether the specific stages in language development are universal across languages. Clear and comprehensive, it is set to become a key text for all courses in child language acquisition, within linguistics, developmental psychology and cognitive science.

Download or read book Bilingual Development in Childhood written by Annick De Houwer and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-05-13 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first decade of life, children become bilingual in different language learning environments. Many children start learning two languages from birth (Bilingual First Language Acquisition). In early childhood hitherto monolingual children start hearing a second language through daycare or preschool (Early Second Language Acquisition). Yet other hitherto monolingual children in middle childhood may acquire a second language only after entering school (Second Language Acquisition). This Element explains how these different language learning settings dynamically affect bilingual children's language learning trajectories. All children eventually learn to speak the societal language, but they often do not learn to fluently speak their non-societal language and may even stop speaking it. Children's and families' harmonious bilingualism is threatened if bilingual children do not develop high proficiency in both languages. Educational institutions and parental conversational practices play a pivotal role in supporting harmonious bilingual development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present dissertation had three main goals: 1) To examine similarities and differences in monolingual and bilingual vocabulary acquisition during a critical period of development 2) To examine how processing speed and language exposure differentially impact vocabulary development and the acquisition of translation equivalents (TEs; words in each language that mean the same thing, such as dog in English and chien in French) in bilingual children during the second year of life, and 3) To acquire a more comprehensive understanding of the stability and continuity of early bilingual vocabulary development by using a direct measure of vocabulary comprehension and processing speed (the Computerized Comprehension Task; CCT) in conjunction with parent reported vocabulary (the MacArthur Bates Communicative Development Inventory; CDI) longitudinally. In order to address these goals, data was collected on two samples of children, one monolingual and one bilingual, at three different developmental time points. Three manuscripts were then written based on this data, and are included as part of this dissertation. The first manuscript, published in 2016 in the Journal of Child Language, examines the receptive vocabulary development of a sample of French-English bilingual and French monolingual children at 16 months of age. This manuscript not only compares the bilingual sample’s receptive vocabulary development and word processing speed to that of their monolingual peers using data from the CCT and CDI, but it also examines the emergence of TE acquisition, and investigates within- and cross-language relations between vocabulary size and reaction time (RT). The findings from this paper suggest that bilingual receptive vocabulary development is largely on par with that of monolingual development, and that learning more than one language from birth does not hinder children’s speed of lexical access. Importantly, it also emphasizes the link between language exposure, vocabulary size, and processing speed, and shows that children with larger vocabularies tend to be faster at processing words.The second manuscript included in this dissertation was published in Bilingualism: Language and Cognition in 2016. It follows the same samples of children from 16 to 22 months of age, and focuses on growth in vocabulary comprehension and production, as well as changes in language exposure and processing speed across waves. Importantly, this study is the first to investigate vocabulary growth in a sample of French–English bilingual toddlers using a longitudinal design in conjunction with a direct measure of vocabulary development. Although both receptive and expressive vocabulary development began slowly in the bilingual sample with learning divided across languages, over time these toddlers acquired approximately as many new words as their monolingual peers in their dominant language, and exhibited a total vocabulary size that was equivalent to, or larger than, their monolingual peers. Furthermore, children’s processing speed increased across waves, and RT on the CCT at 16 months emerged as a significant predictor of receptive vocabulary size at 22 months for the bilinguals. Importantly, both within- and cross-language relations emerged between language exposure, vocabulary size, and processing speed for the bilinguals, once again emphasizing the complex interplay between these variables early on in development. Finally, the third manuscript included in the present dissertation was published in the Journal of Child Language in 2017. It focuses on productive vocabulary development and the acquisition of TEs in our French-English bilingual sample across three developmental time points, at 16, 22, and 30 months. It also compares a direct measure of TE development with parent report in a separate sample of 24-month-old French-English bilinguals. This is the first study to longitudinally investigate the impact that changes in language exposure and vocabulary size have on TE development during the second and third years of life. It is also the first study to compare a direct measure of TE comprehension with parent report during the second year of life. This manuscript shows that the acquisition of TEs is a gradual process that begins early on in bilingual development. It also provides evidence for the relation between quantity of language exposure and TE development, but shows that the ratio of L1 (dominant) to L2 (non-dominant) vocabulary is a better predictor of TE development than L2 exposure alone in young bilinguals. Lastly, this manuscript emphasizes the importance of using both direct and indirect measures of early vocabulary comprehension and TE development, as it shows that parents of bilingual children may have a tendency to over-report their child’s receptive word knowledge when completing vocabulary checklists.

This book was released on 2017-08-25 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Educating dual language learners (DLLs) and English learners (ELs) effectively is a national challenge with consequences both for individuals and for American society. Despite their linguistic, cognitive, and social potential, many ELsâ€"who account for more than 9 percent of enrollment in grades K-12 in U.S. schoolsâ€"are struggling to meet the requirements for academic success, and their prospects for success in postsecondary education and in the workforce are jeopardized as a result. Promoting the Educational Success of Children and Youth Learning English: Promising Futures examines how evidence based on research relevant to the development of DLLs/ELs from birth to age 21 can inform education and health policies and related practices that can result in better educational outcomes. This report makes recommendations for policy, practice, and research and data collection focused on addressing the challenges in caring for and educating DLLs/ELs from birth to grade 12.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book pioneers the study of bilingualism across the lifespan and in all its diverse forms. In framing the newest research within a lifespan perspective, the editors highlight the importance of considering an individual's age in researching how bilingualism affects language acquisition and cognitive development. A key theme is the variability among bilinguals, which may be due to a host of individual and sociocultural factors, including the degree to which bilingualism is valued within a particular context.Thus, this book is a call for language researchers, psychologists, and educators to pursue a better understanding of bilingualism in our increasingly global society.

Abstract: This dissertation is on the subject of bilingual vocabulary acquisition, specifically regarding children between the age of 12 and 20-24 months, and presents a longitudinal case study of a Cantonese-English bilingual child. We begin by questioning the role of exposure (in terms of number and frequency of utterances) as a reliable indicator of vocabulary acquisition at such a young age. While exposure is undoubtedly a good indicator of acquisition from age 2;0 upwards (Huttenlocher, Haight, Byrk, Seltzer, & Lyons, 1991, David & Li, 2008), we suggest that other more specific factors are more crucial at earlier stages, when the rate of vocabulary growth is slower. As such, using a parental diary and a series of video experiments, we propose and test hypotheses concerning the roles of child directed speech (CDS), salience of exposure, emotional arousal and phonological complexity in early language acquisition. Regarding CDS, results taken from the parental diary show apparent selection and adaptation of vocabulary to fit reduplicated forms between the ages of 1;0 and 1;5. In conjunction with previous research, we propose that, between 1;0 and 1;5, during the whole-word stage (Vihman & Croft, 2007), salience and phonological simplicity of exposure are key factors in vocabulary acquisition. This hypothesis points to a likely initial Cantonese dominance in English-Cantonese bilinguals, which is supported by our data. Our results from video experiments appear to support hypotheses concerning positive emotional arousal as a facilitator of vocabulary acquisition prior to 20-24 months, and also of a child's ability to acquire language with minimal exposure, in a similar but not identical process to fast mapping (Carey & Bartlett, 1978). We propose as such that emotional arousal is a key component in language acquisition before age 2;0, and link this type acquisition to flashbulb memories (Brown & Kulik, 1977). Finally we show that our parental diary data corroborates the well documented verb and noun biases in Chinese (Choi & Gopnik, 1995) and English (Bornstein et al., 2004) respectively. We question what these conflicting biases may mean for a bilingual child in terms of language dominance and code mixing, and also discuss potential reasons for, and implications of, these biases.
