6.2 DB: Morphological Analysis In your readings this week, Roger Brown described five stages of language. development based on MLU. In thinking about the stages, most children can use most of the variations in the English language by age 5. Perform a morphological analysis using one of the language samples provided. Discuss whether. you believe this child is on target or should be referred for further evaluation. Support your premises using the unit resources. Answer: When children begin to talk, they reveal a process unto themselves and others, a system known as the Phonological Processes. It allows children to make adult speech more simplified and easier to understand, especially the adult words and speech which are beyond their abilities . As they develop, kids pay attention to the language being used around them, which will encourage them to say a word or two, which begins the vocabulary-building process. Although a child’s language development takes time, the more you talk to and with them, the greater their vocabulary will grow along with their clarity in the words spoken also. more their child's rules change along with their cognitive and social growth. The more a child hears it’s parents talking and communicating with them as well as being close to hearing others speaking as well, the faster a child will develop a vocabulary and to speak more and more words as time goes on. I decided to perform a morphological analysis using the language transcript of a 12-month-old. child interacting with the mother. According to Bowen, C. (2019) “Between 12 and 26 months, children are expected to have MLUM's (mean length of utterance measured in morphemes) of about 1.75 morphemes (range 1.0 to 2.0 morphemes). Their Mums gradually increase as they acquire more language.” The 12-month-old is showing produce stage 1 sentence structure. I believe that his child is right on track because, in this age group, they are trying to imitate speech
sounds. They begin to say one to three words, and this child’s words are simple and incomplete, but you can still understand what the child is trying to say and mean. This child also seems to know the difference between mommy and daddy and can follow simple directions. While working with the 12-month age group, I noticed that you are observing them, you are not seeing if they can say the words grammatically correctly so you should not worry about if they do not or even do not use words but as long as they are trying to imitate your words, use gestures and make sounds they are actually on the right track. This is exactly what this sample language transcript is presenting.
