  1. CSD 2230HUMAN COMMUNICATION DISORDERS Topic 2 Normal Communication Development and Communication Across the Lifespan--Preschoolers

  2. Communication • Primary means of communication is spoken language within the framework of conversations • Memory and the ability to recall past events improves

  3. Language • Hypothesis testing • Parent’s role in providing feedback and consistent modeling is crucial

  4. Language Use • Topic maintenance improves • Evidence of the listener’s perspective • Use of here, there, this, that • Context • Adjustment of conversational style to fit the audience

  5. Language Content • Increase in expressive vocabulary • 900 words by age 3, 1500 words by age 4 • Many of these are nouns • Some are relational words and phrases • In, on, under • First, last • More than, less than • Bigger than, smaller than

  6. Language Content • Word order continues to be a popular strategy to determine meaning • First in, first out • Go home after you eat • Go home before you eat • Use of conjunctions • We saw the Grinch movie on TV and he made his dog pull the sled and he stoled all the toys and he took the little Who girl’s candy cane and then he went up the mountain again and the people started singing and his heart got exploded and he brought back all the toys and he was nice.

  7. Language Form Major hallmark is the shift from semantics and pragmatics to form in overall language development

  8. Syntax Highlights • 90% of adult grammar by age 5 • Language becomes more complex and utterances become longer Mean length of utterance • Most utterances contain both a subject and verb • The following words emerge Articles a, the Adjectives big, noisy, fluffy Pronouns I, you, she Auxillary verbs Prepositions on, after, for Adverbs gently, quite • Adult-like negatives no juice, no go bye-bye • Emergence of compound sentences

  9. Morphology Bound morphemes • Present progressives • -ing, plural s, possessive s, past tense -ed • Errors made which illustrate overuse of these morphological rules • Goed, tooked, eated, sheeps, deers, foots

  10. Phonology The rules we see for toddlers disappear Some consonant blends (str, sl, dr) continue to be difficult

  11. Speech Acquisition is a gradual process Some generalizations: • Sounds first mastered in the initial position • Consonants have a particular order of mastery • 3 year old have p,m,h,n,w,b,k,g,d • 4 year olds have t,f,j and some r,l,s,ch,sh,z

  12. In Summary… During preschool: Language development concentrates on form Children acquire 90% of adult syntax, many morphological endings, and most speech sounds Language is used in conversations and narration Kids are capable of initiating, maintaining, and terminating conversations and topics and changing the style of talking for the listener
