Q

Development of Narratives: Use of the “And” Conjunction (pg 328)

A
  • Preschoolers first learn to link events in linear fashion and later use causal connectives
    • by age 6, narratives gain cohesion
    • the conjunction “and” is used as often in narratives of 9 year-olds as frequently as in preschoolers’ narratives
    • used for cohesion (“and then…”) rather than conjoining clauses (“/clause/ and /clause/”)
    • pg 328

Q

Causality; what is it and what does it require?

A
  • causality involves descriptions of intentions, emotions and thoughts; and the use of connectives like “because” “since” and “as a result of”
    • use of causality requires the speaker to go forward and backward in time, which preschoolers struggle with

Q

Q

Causal Narratives: Development of Solution and Causal Chains

A
  • Narratives of 7-year-olds typically have a beginning, a problem, a plan to overcome the problem, and a resolution
    • initially narratives are truncated so the problem is solved but it’s unclear how, i.e. “this guy had a gun so spiderman went into his house and stopped him”
    • another early form: narratives are resolved without the main character doing anything, like waking up from a dream
    • after age 8 there is a definite character generated resolution to the problem; clear solutions tied to attempts and responses

Q

A
  • Mental states: between ages 2 and 10, kids stories contain more mental states, initiations and motivations as causal links.
    • age 4: explicit physical and mental states
    • age 6: kids describe motive for action
    • Beginning and Ending Markers: used by second grade in narratives (once upon a time, the end)
    • Syntactic Events: length increases w/ aid of conjunctions, locatives, dialogues and casual statements

  • Determine the semantic relations of the lexical sentences
  • Determine the semantic probabilities of co-occurrence
  • Label the functions and properties of specific lexical items
43
Q

Morphologic Development

A

Memorized as individual words → create generalizations: form rules of use → apply the formula to novel words

“Invite”

  • –Inflectional morphemes
    • Prefixes (un-invite)
    • Suffixes (invit-ed)
  • –Derivational morphemes
    • Suffixes (invitation)
44
Q

→ 7 (recognizes and correct impossible combinations)
→ 8 (can produce all sounds; more complex words are more difficult)

50
Q

What are morphophonemic changes?

How do they develop?

A
  • phonological changes that occur when morphemes are placed together
    • learned gradually thru elementary schoolRegular Plural -S: rules for /s/ vs /z/ vs /Iz/ (as in “roses”) not learned even into 1st grade
      Vowel Shifting: i.e. the /ai/ sound in “divine” vs the “ih” sound in “divinity” isn’t fully mastered until 17
      Stress eg w/ vowels and nouns: i,e, the CONduct of the conDUCtor: it is not acquired until 12

    • Speakers of standard English can have difficulty understanding AAE
53
Q

AAE Speakers and Society: Written language

A
  • Decoding:
    • may have difficulty reading aloud since text is not consistent with AAE phonemic rules
  • Comprehension:
    • passive sentences may be more difficult to understand
54
Q

Why are narratives important to language development?

A
  • they reflect the storyteller’s experience
  • the ability to relate well-formed narratives affects the judgements others make about a speaker’s communicative competence

    • use more questions to probe for interest before introducing an unfamiliar topic
    • recognize communication breakdown and repair it
    • social perspective taking–the ability to understand other points of view
58
Q

Types of words added to the lexicon of school-aged kids:

A
  • Spatial relationships
    • Nonspecified deictic terms → environmental-based terms → spatial terms
  • Disjunctive (contrasting) relationships
    • But → even though → although → in contrast
  • Thought process
    • Know, think, remember → assert, conclude, doubt, predict, interpret
