Preverbal foundations & phonological development Flashcards
Bigger vocabulary =
more speech sounds
around what age to babies tend to learn what differences in words/languages are meaningful?
one year
reflexive sounds (0-2 months)
coughing, crying, fussing, burps
3 stages of babbling
precanonical, canonical, and advanced forms
precanonical babbling stages
cooing and gooing, vocal play, marginal babbling
cooing and gooing (1-4 mo)
lots of velars (/k/ and /g/) and “ooo” vowels
vocal play (4-7 mo)
just exploring and finding out what they can do and control
vocal play examples
raspberries, squeals, yelling, growling
marginal babbling (4-6 mo)
consonant-vowel (CV) and vowel-consonant (VC) productions
canonical (reduplicated) babbling (6-10 mo)
reduplicated and rhythmic (same C and V)
marginal babbling examples
ma, um, da… maaaaaaa
canonical babbling examples
mamamama, dadada, gagaga
canonical babbling is a very important stage to enter and is connected with ______ motor skills like…
gross
controlled arm movements
canonical sort of means adult skill
Variegated babbling (10-12 mo)
CVCVCVCV sequences that are not reduplicated
variegated babbling examples
“putika” “madiga” “tikadi”
Jargon (emerges once babbling begins)
increasingly varied and consistent use of rhythm, pausing, and intonation
not real words but could be, easier to have fake conversations with the kid, they are using more conversational tones
which sound is hardest to produce and last to develop in almost any language
“r”
______, ________, and _________ make articulation of a sounds more or less complex
place
manner
voicing
phonology
knowledge of the sound system of your language
phonology examples
-what sounds are phonemic (contrastive)? like tea/key, go/goat, rake/lake
-what sound combos are allowed? like gl, st, ts, spl
phonological processes
systematic change or simplification that influences a CLASS of sounds or syllable shapes (not an individual sound)
phonological processes examples
-all final consonants are deleted
-all fricatives produced as tops (soup = “toup”)
-all clusters are reduced (blue = “bue”, spit = “pit”)
-all liquids pronounced as glides (yellow = “yeyow”, rabbit = “wabbit”)
when kids are younger (like 4), you think of these issues as ______________, but beyond that it is probably more of a(n) ________________ issue and you want to treat it with ________ therapy
phonological
articulation
motor
