Speech and Language
DevelopmentCommunication is the exchange of
information through various verbal or nonverbal actions.
• Verbal Communication • Nonverbal communication
• Total communication
Speech and Language
Development•Verbal Communication – achieved thru
spoken words and language; maybe accompanied by culturally appropriate normal gestures and facial expressions
•Nonverbal communication – achieved without oral speech; maybe in the form of signs, gestures, facial expressions, and symbols.
•Total communication – achieved thru the simultaneous use of verbal expressions as well as sign language.
Speech and Language
DevelopmentPhonology:
The study of speech sounds, their patterns and sequences and the rules that dictate sound combinations to create words.
Speech and Language
DevelopmentFluency: the aspect of speech production
that refers to the continuity, smoothness, rate, and/or effort with which phonologic, lexical, morphologic, and/or syntactic language units are spoken.
Speech and Language
DevelopmentSemantics – the study of meaning
in a language
Syntax- the study of sentence structure
Morphology – the study of word structure
Speech and Language
DevelopmentPragmatics: The study of social use of language
and the rules of such language.
It means using language appropriately in social situations

Speech IntelligibilityHow intelligible is your child’s speech
to a stranger during his early years? There is a broad range of normal, but typically a child at…
• 19 to 24 months of age is 25% to 50% intelligible • 2 to 3 years, the child is 50% to 75% intelligible • 3 to 4 years, the child is 80% intelligible• 4 to 5 years, the child is 90% to 100% intelligible

Language Development
Vocabulary Development • Depends heavily on environmental
exposure as well as the individual capacity each child brings to the learning situation
• Grows rapidly to around 2,000 words by his or her fifth birthday
Words, Words, Words• English is a morpho-phonemic language
(both meaning and sound)• English has a deep structure• English has the largest vocabulary in
the world (750,000)• English has many nuances, similar word
meanings, synonyms, and words borrowed from other languages
Four Types of Vocabulary
ListeningSpeakingReadingWriting
Words, Words, and More Words
• Children begin first grade with a 6,000 spoken word vocabulary
• Children learn 36,000 more words by 12th grade (spoken language)
• Children learn 5 words a day• Children still need 55,000 words for
printed school English (Chall, 87; Gunning, 04)
Language Development
2.5 – 3 years
• Syntax-morphology: – Child uses word combinations, has beginning phrase and sentence
structure; – Combines 3-4 words in subject-verb-object format; e.g., “Daddy throw
ball.”• Semantics:
– Comprehension usually precedes production– Expressive vocabulary is 200 – 600 words– Meanings seem to be learned in sequence: objects, events, actions,
adjectives, adverbs, spatial concepts, temporal (time) concepts• Pragmatics:
– Child’s utterances, although occasionally egocentric, generally have a communicative intent
– Interpersonal communication expands; the child learns to adopt a role to express his own opinions and personality
Language Development
3 – 4 years• Syntax-morphology:
– The child uses mostly complete sentences; at 48 months, sentences average 5- 5 ½ words per utterance. MLU is approximately 3 – 5 words.
– uses simple (regular) plural forms correctly – e.g., boys, houses, lights
• Semantics:– Comprehends up to 4200 words by 42 months– Uses 800 – 1500 words expressively– Labels most things in the environment
• Pragmatics:– Child maintains conversation without losing track of topic– Child uses communicative functions such as protests (Don’t touch
that!, Don’t want that!)
Language Development
4 – 5 years• Syntax-morphology:
– Child speaks in complete sentences– Child uses comparisons
• Semantics:– Child uses concrete meanings and words but sometimes responds
to abstract ideas appropriately– Uses how and why– Can name items in a category
• Pragmatics:– Child modifies speech as a function of listener age (beginning at 4
years)– Child can maintain topic over successive utterances
Language Development
5 – 6 years• Syntax-morphology:
– Child increases understanding and use of complex sentences; decreases grammatical errors as sentences and vocabulary become more sophisticated
– Child uses all pronouns consistently• Semantics:
– Child defines objects by use – Child know functions of body parts– Child tells long stories
• Pragmatics:– Child can recognize a socially offensive message and reword it in
a polite form– Child modifies speech according to listeners needs
Does the Child’sEnvironment Play a Part?
Environmental situations…
oral stimulationvocabulary developmentlanguage deprivation
Facilitating language enriched classroom
environment?• Have students repeat directions orally (sequentially)• Require students to respond in complete sentences.• Redirect focus with repetition of same stimulus statement/question• Combine oral and written (visual and auditory) presentation of
materials to reinforce structure• Calls child’s name, touch shoulder, and/or whisper to regain
attention of child who appears to be distracted.• Practice sound and symbol association drills consistently to
facilitate appropriate sound production• Give children alternative vocabulary – use multiple words to
express one concept• Teach vocabulary explicitly• Have children define words based on concept• Redirect children who exhibit behavior problems
