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 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: This study examines the emergence and development of the Cantonese serial verb construction (SVC) in children from 1;03 to 4;06 by investigating the naturalistic data from two longitudinal corpora. This study presents a descriptive account of the emergence and development of SVCs in early child Cantonese, seeks to explain the developmental facts from a constructionist usage-based perspective, and compares the development of SVCs in Cantonese-English bilinguals with that in Cantonese monolinguals. It is found that children start to produce SVCs spontaneously at an early age of 1;10 and that the overall frequency of occurrence is low during the developmental period studied. The early emergence of SVCs is attributed to children's preference for iconic structures. Four surface forms are identified and shown to emerge with a consistent order: two-verb contiguous (1;10-11) contiguous (2;02) complexities are suggested to be the possible factors that influence the order. The earlier emergence of contiguous forms than non-contiguous forms is explained by the hypothesis that cross-linguistically unmarked structures tend to be acquired earlier than the marked ones (O'Grady 2000). Such a generalization is compatible with constructionist approaches in suggesting cross-linguistic cognitive functional preferences for language processing. Children tend to use certain component verbs that express eight main semantic notions. The study interprets children's SVCs as concrete instantiations of eight sub-constructions, which are subsumed by a more abstract high level SVC schema. It is observed that sub-constructions develop asynchronously, as the developmental paths of the four more frequently used SVCs (directional, dative, purpose and resultative SVCs) are more advanced than the four less often produced SVCs (instrumental, benefactive, comitative and locative SVCs). Developmental paths of the former are shown to be consistent with Tomasello's (2003) usage-based account of language development: from concrete expressions, to pivot schemas, then to item-based constructions. However, this study does not have enough data to suggest the emergence of an abstract schema for the high level SVC. It is found that children imitate adults' previous SVCs and repeat their own spontaneous productions frequently. These highlight the roles of the ambient language and linguistic use to children's language development. The overall error rates of SVCs are found to be low. The reasons proposed for error production, that are, adult input, generalization from item-based constructions and complexity of target constructions, are considered as evidence to support the constructionist usage-based approach. This study shows that Cantonese-dominant bilinguals resemble Cantonese monolinguals in developing SVCs. Language dominance is invoked to account for the developmental similarities observed. Only a few code-mixed instances are recorded, suggesting limited English influence on Cantonese SVCs. It is argued that SVCs are not a vulnerable doma

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The chapters in this volume arise from presentations at a unique conference on typical and atypical language development held in Madison, USA in 2002. This joint meeting of the International Association for the Study of Child Language, and the Symposium for Research in Child Language Disorders brought together – for the first time in such large numbers – researchers from these two distinct but related fields. The week-long schedule of the conference allowed for an in-depth interrogation of their theoretical positions, methodologies and findings. In the contributions to this volume we have put together a carefully selected set of papers which from various perspectives explore the linkage between developmental theory and language impairment, and at the same time illustrate the effects of distinct conditions – hearing loss, autism, Down syndrome, Williams syndrome and specific language impairment – on the communication abilities of affected individuals. An introductory chapter, and a detailed summary which picks up recurring themes in the chapters, complete the volume.

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.
