Piaget
Can't use the language if concept is not known
4 of 22
Vygotsky
A child needs the help of an adult to develop language. Collaborative play is essential to children's learning. Object permanence- ability to understand that an object still exists even if it's no longer visible.

Child-directed speech
More pronounced intonation. Simplified vocab. Repeated grammatical features. Simplified grammar. Actions.

Aitchison
Language has a biological organised schedule and quotes Lenneberg's theory that language is maturationally controlled, emerging before it is critically needed.

Holophrastic stage
12-18months- one word utterances normally to get something they want or naming objects.
8 of 22
Nelson
Studied first 50 words. largest group was naming people and things
9 of 22
Overextension
one word= multiple meanings
10 of 22
Overextension- categorical
A word for one member of a clear category e.g. 'apple' for pear
11 of 22
Overextension- analogical
A word for one object is extended to another object which is not in the same clear category but still bears some similarity e.g. 'hat' for hairbrush
12 of 22
Overextension- statements
Almost like one word sentences. Children are not labeling an object but making a statement about it in relation to another object e.g. 'dolly' upon seeing the empty doll's bed.
13 of 22
Underextension
only one narrow use of a word
14 of 22
Two word stage
At around 18 months of age, babies begin to form two word utterances.
15 of 22
Derivational morphology
Making new words- compounding (joining existing words together), conversion (using word as a different word class), affixation (applying endings to words to create new ones).
16 of 22
Deletion
Often occurs on the last consonant ca instead of cat.
17 of 22
Substitution
Where one sound is swapped for another, easier sound.
18 of 22
Assimilation
Is a process that illustrates how some sounds change because of other sounds around them. goggie(doggie)
19 of 22
The telegraphic stage
Vocab is 500+ words. Overextension may occur. Make new words up. Tenses still muddled up. Auxiliaries still may cause problems. Start to formulate.
20 of 22
Negation
The ability to use negatives requires syntactic awareness.
21 of 22
Bellugi
Identified 3 stages of negative formation in young children- (1- No wear shoes, 2-I no want it, 3-No, I don't want to go to nursery.)
