In order to analyze a language sample, I transcribed a video of a four-year-old boy named Max. Max has a diagnosis of an autism spectrum disorder (ASD). ASD is a group of disorders that vary in severity but share commonalities such as impairments in social interaction, communication, and behavioral differences (Kuder, 2013, p.172). Max appears to be using a “singsong voice,” which typically means that his tone and pitch fluctuates while he talks. The setting in which this video took place appears

Tracking syntactic development in children is vital, and really important in monitoring, and tracking where a child is with his or her language development. The way to accomplish this is by tracking the child’s syntactic development. “Brown tracked the syntactic development of English by measuring the average number of units of meaning expressed un utterance across a sample of language” (Hulit, L.156). Upon using Brown’s method, my data tabulations concluded that in video one, child X had an MLU

Based on the observation, Maddi appears to be at the linguistic level of language knowledge, level 1. She communicates her needs and intents effectively (Otto, 2014). Maddi has phonological knowledge, she understands that language is made up of words with distinctive sounds. Maddi is capable of articulating different sounds and words. She could communicate effectively with the teacher as they were building their cages for the horses. I think that Maddi displayed semantic knowledge when the teacher

Answers and Explanations 1: (d) An individual’s sight vocabulary includes the words that he/she can recognize and correctly pronounce when reading. Limited sight vocabulary can be due to poor word recognition, a lack of content vocabulary, and/or inadequate background knowledge. Although proper pronunciation may affect the ability to spell a word, the ability to properly spell a word is less likely to affect a student’s ability to properly pronounce that word. 2: (a) Written vocabulary are words

Navajo is a Southern Athabaskan language of the Na-Dene family; it has similarities and is related to spoken languages across the western areas of North America. The Navajo refer to themselves as the Diné or “People” and their language is known as Diné bizaad or “People’s language”. The earliest recorded history appears to between the years 1581-1583 when the Spanish made their first contact with the Navajos. Nearly 200 years later the Navajo were able to drive the Spanish settles from the Eastern

Political correctness is frequently satirised as a construct of a heavily censored society. However, it is not essentially censorship, where it is the public or institutions censoring the language. Instead, politically correct language is essentially self-censoring, as it is concerned more with the mechanisms of the thought process and trying to change them. This is done by the encouragement of use of certain lexemes, the creation of neologisms and finally, the semantic shift in various lexical items

Grammar and syntax are in common because with syntax you are also using grammar. Knowing the parts of speech in grammar goes hand and hand with syntax. The parts of speech are: Nouns (person, place, thing, or idea), Verbs (action or being), Prepositions (time, place, or position), Adjectives (describes nouns and pronouns), Adverbs (describes verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs), Conjunctions (join words, phrases, or sentences), Interjections (express emotion or are fillers in sentences), and Pronouns

Classifiers are handshapes we use in American sign language (ASL) to show the movement, placement, orientation, size, and shape of a noun. Since ASL is a rule-governed language when using classifiers you must first identify the noun, then you can use the classifier to show how the object moves or is placed in relationship to other objects (Aron). American sign language uses eight different kinds of classifiers for specific categories. Since classifiers cover a wide variety of uses there are several

The purpose of this observation was to observe how elementary students learn with a focus on conditional conditioning, operant conditioning, the social learning theory, as well as phonemes, morphemes, and syntax. The observation took place at Karaffa Elementary School on March 29, 2017 and March 30, 2017. There were 3 groups of students from the Psychology class going to observe 3 different classes at KES. The observation on this date was in Mrs. Donnelly’s classroom at around 1:00 pm. The subject
