Jean Quigley; Elizabeth Nixon – First Language, 2024
Children's speech is influenced by the speech they hear, in particular by the parental speech addressed directly to them. The aim of this study was to analyse toddlers' speech with their parents and to investigate the influence of specific characteristics of child-directed speech on child speech in real time during mother-child and father-child…

Liu, Xueman Lucy; Ning, Chunyan; de Villiers, Jill; Lee, Wendy; Rolfhus, Eric; Hutchings, Teresa; Jiang, Fan; Zhang, Yiwen – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2023
Background: Little is known about the spontaneous speech characteristics of young children with language delay in Mandarin, relative to their peers. Until the recent development of standardized language assessments normed in China on Mandarin-speaking children, it was difficult to independently identify atypically developing children to study…

Craig Messner – ProQuest LLC, 2021
The study and characterization of the literary uses of non-standard American English writing systems was once a topic of research central to the study of American literature. "Speech as Writing: Literary Dialect Orthography in the United States 1790-1930" argues that the emergence of new computational tools and theoretical insights…

Spencer Philip Caplan – ProQuest LLC, 2021
This dissertation investigates the wide-ranging implications of a simple fact: language unfolds over time. Whether as cognitive symbols in our minds, or as their physical realization in the world, if linguistic computations are not made over transient and shifting information as it occurs, they cannot be made at all. This dissertation explores the…

Rozen-Blay, Or; Novogrodsky, Rama; Degani, Tamar – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: This study aimed to examine how speech while sign (simultaneous communication [SimCom]) affects the spoken language of bimodal bilingual teachers and how individual differences in sign-language vocabulary knowledge, SimCom teaching experience, and the ability to perform speech under dual-task conditions explain the variability in SimCom…

Janna B. Oetting; Tahmineh Maleki – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2024
Purpose: Transcription of conjoined independent clauses within language samples varies across professionals. Some transcribe these clauses as two separate utterances, whereas others conjoin them within a single utterance. As an inquiry into equitable practice, we examined rates of conjoined independent clauses produced by children and the impact…

Wright, Bridget M.; Benigno, Joann P.; Boster, Jamie B.; McCarthy, John W.; Coologhan, Bridget K. – Communication Disorders Quarterly, 2020
Thirty-one children with and without autism spectrum disorder were asked to draw the meaning of 10 basic concepts. Following each drawing, children explained their drawing to the experimenter. Transcripts of the drawing task were coded for children's use of personal pronouns and internal state terms. Children's use of on- and off-task comments…

LeGrand, Kaya J.; Wisman Weil, Lisa; Lord, Catherine; Luyster, Rhiannon J. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: Several studies have reported that "useful speech" at 5 years of age predicts outcomes in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), but this skill has been vaguely defined. This study investigates which specific aspects of expressive language in children with ASD best predict adult language and communication outcomes.…

Granados, Adrián; Lorenzo-Espejo, Antonio; Lorenzo, Francisco – Language and Education, 2023
This study describes academic literacy development during mid-adolescence, when learners need to adjust to the demands of academic discourse as a gateway to linguistic adulthood. Unlike most research to date, which is cross-sectional and detached from disciplinary content, this study provides a two-year longitudinal description of academic…

Montag, Jessica L. – First Language, 2019
Reading picture books to pre-literate children is associated with improved language outcomes, but the causal pathways of this relationship are not well understood. The present analyses focus on several syntactic differences between the text of children's picture books and typical child-directed speech, with the aim of understanding ways in which…

Genovese, Giuliana; Spinelli, Maria; Romero Lauro, Leonor J.; Aureli, Tiziana; Castelletti, Giulia; Fasolo, Mirco – Journal of Child Language, 2020
Infant-directed speech (IDS) is a specific register that adults use to address infants, and it is characterised by prosodic exaggeration and lexical and syntactic simplification. Several authors have underlined that this simplified speech becomes more complex according to the infant's age. However, there is a lack of studies on lexical and…

Nicholas, Katrina; Plante, Elena; Gómez, Rebecca; Vance, Rebecca – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: Children with developmental language disorder sometimes spontaneously repeat clinician models of morphemes targeted for treatment. We examine how spontaneous repeating of clinician models in the form of recasts associates with improved child production of those emerging morphemes. Method: Forty-seven preschool children with developmental…

Swan, Michael; Walter, Catherine – ELT Journal, 2017
Lessons designed to teach reading and listening typically concentrate on the use of higher-level skills and strategies, such as predicting, scanning, inferencing, understanding text structure, or activating background knowledge. Given that these normal communication skills are already available to students for mother-tongue use, they should…

Leopold, Lisa – CATESOL Journal, 2021
The purpose of this study is to shed light on the ways in which experts in foreign affairs project their scholarly identities on panel presentations. While previous research has focused on the ways in which researchers in various disciplines assert their scholarly identities in written discourse and in conference presentations, no study has…

Suttora, Chiara; Salerni, Nicoletta; Zanchi, Paola; Zampini, Laura; Spinelli, Maria; Fasolo, Mirco – First Language, 2017
This study aimed to investigate specific associations between structural and acoustic characteristics of infant-directed (ID) speech and word recognition. Thirty Italian-acquiring children and their mothers were tested when the children were 1;3. Children's word recognition was measured with the looking-while-listening task. Maternal ID speech was…
