Produktbeschreibung
A question often asked by parents to speech
pathologists involves how they can make sure their
children learn language alongside same-age peers.
There are several theories regarding language
acquisition including the psycholinguistic approach,
the sociolinguistic approach, and behaviorism. A
study of these theories can lead parents and
caregivers to find out how their own examples and
efforts can contribute to the language learning of
children with whom they have contact. This thesis
will show how the environment of a child can and does
play a large role in language acquisition and how
parents and caregivers can take the most advantage of
that. Main suggestions include the use of exaggerated
intonation and other speech characteristics with parentese when speaking with children, speaking to
children in utterances they can understand, and
repeating and expanding upon the speech of children.
The research and statistics presented here pertaining
to language development are meant to be a learning
tool for current or prospective parents who are
concerned about language acquisition and want to make
sure their children have the best environment
possible in which to develop speech.
