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.

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.

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.
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Developmental Psychology Vol 1 written by Philip David Zelazo and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2013-01-15 with total page 960 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research in developmental psychology--which examines the history, origins, and causes of behavior and age-related changes in behavior--seeks to construct a complex, multi-level characterization of behavior as it unfolds in time across a range of time scales, from the milliseconds of reaction time to the days and weeks of childhood, the decades of the human lifespan, and even beyond, to multiple generations. Behavior, in this view, is embedded within what is essentially a dynamic system of relations extending deep within individuals. Thorough and engaging, this handbook explores the impact of this research on what is now known about psychological development, from birth to biological maturity, and it highlights the extent to which the most cutting-edge developmental science reflects a new kind of intellectual synthesis: one that reveals how cultural, social, cognitive, neural, and molecular processes work together to yield human behavior and changes in human behavior. With insightful contributions from more than 50 of the world's leading developmental scientists, these two volumes will serve as an influential and informed text for students and as an authoritative desk reference for years to come.

Abstract: Abstract of thesis entitled Acquisition of Cantonese Sortal Classifiers in Cantonese-English Bilinguals Submitted by Miss Poy-San Chung For the degree of Masters of Arts At the University of Hong Kong In August 2007 The bi-directional linguistic interaction in bilinguals along with the U- shaped acquisition curve is well documented in current literature. This paper seeks to answer if classifier acquisition also follows the purported U-shaped model, if so, how similar or different is the bilingual curve from their monolingual peers. If there is a difference, what is the cause of the difference? Cantonese data from bilingual children exposed to English and Cantonese from birth, is analysed to ascertain whether the development and acquisition of classifiers was affected when the dominant language was Cantonese. A quantitative and qualitative analysis was performed using the data available from CHILDES. The findings show the following: (1) The bilinguals and monolingual Cantonese speakers in the acquisition of go3 and zek3 follow the partial U-shaped curve; (2) the remaining sortal classifiers do not follow the purported U-shaped curve; (3) the bilinguals over-generalise go3 more extensively than their monolingual peers; (4) the acquisition of the remaining classifiers are similar to their monolingual peers but differs with respect to gaan1 which is under-extended and; (5) adult input is correlated to child output. The findings can be explained using the language markedness hypothesis, socio-cultural theory and the emergentist theory. It is suggested that type and token frequency of classifier input provided by parents and their caregivers play a central role in the child's acquisition of language.

Download or read book South and Southeast Asian Psycholinguistics written by Heather Winskel and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-11-28 with total page 491 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A large body of knowledge has accumulated in recent years on the cognitive processes underlying language, much of which comes from studies of Indo-European languages, in particular English. This groundbreaking volume explores the languages of South and Southeast Asia, which differ significantly from Indo-European languages in their grammar, lexicon and spoken forms. This book raises new questions in psycholinguistics and enables readers to re-evaluate previous models in light of new research. With thirty-six chapters divided into three parts - Language Acquisition, Language Processing and Language and Brain - it examines contemporary topics alongside new findings in areas such as first and second language acquisition, the development of literacy, the diagnosis of language and reading disorders, and the relationship between language, brain, culture and cognition. It will be invaluable to all those interested in the languages of South and Southeast Asia, as well as psychologists, linguists, educationalists, speech therapists and neuroscientists.
