What does child learn in Phonology Acquisition Stage? Speech sounds (consonants & vowels) fish; butter; elephant How speech sounds combine to form words (phonotactics), splash; psash; esplash Vocabulary. How many words are there in English/their native language? Mental representations. How is each word supposed to be pronounced? E.g. rich vs. lean, cat

Change in Voicing

Morphology is the aspect of language concerned with the rules governing change in word meaning. Morphological development is analyzed by computing a childs Mean Length of Utterance (MLU). Each word a child produces is broken down into morphemes. A morpheme is the smallest, indivisible unit of meaning. For example, the word walk is one morpheme, while walked is two morphemes: Walk carries its own meaning and ed signifies past tense.

 After

counting the morphemes for each of the childs utterances, they are totaled and divided by the total number of utterances. The formula is as follows: MLU

Total number of morpheme total number of utterance

Between 15 and 30 months, children are expected to have MLU of about 1.75 morphemes. Their MLU gradually increase as they acquire more language.
In Stage I, just after they have built up a 50 to 60 word vocabulary, children acquire the ability to produce the Stage I sentence types. As children's MLU increases their capacity to learn and use grammatical structures of greater complexity increases. They move from Stage I into Stage II, where they learn to use "-ing" endings on verbs, "in", "on", and "-s" plurals. They then proceed to Stages III and IV.

 Its

based on Noam Chomskys theory, Universal Grammar The system children learn is not derived only from what they hear, but from how their brains are made. Something about language is innate. Universal Grammar also enables children to generalize structure what theyve learned.

In order to acquire Word Meaning, a child has to do :

first,

she must identify the relevant linguistic items, second, she must identify (and understand) the meanings these link to, and third, she must learn how the forms connect to the meanings. .

Argument Structure Word Meaning

Tense Quantification and aspects and Scope

The structure of semantics is as complex and as broad as the range of concepts we can think about. In some areas, such as word learning, childrens primary challenge seems to be identifying the specific concepts being targeted from among all the possible meanings available. In other areas, such as argument structure, children appear to have a good idea of what the possible meanings could be and need to learn how those are properly mapped into various structures
