Montiegel, Kristella – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2022
This study investigates teachers' gestures produced during directive actions. I examine three particular gestures--pointing to the mouth, pointing to the ear, and cupping the ear-- that teachers frequently deployed when interacting with their deaf or hard-of-hearing students in an oral preschool classroom, a setting focused on spoken language and…

Matthews, Danielle; Kelly, Ciara – Deafness & Education International, 2022
Despite the advances in technology and sign language awareness, many Deaf and Hard of Hearing (DHH) children have language delays as a consequence of difficulty accessing a language model. These delays are often particularly pronounced in the domain of pragmatics, where the language user takes into account the people they are communicating with…

Price, Gwendolyn F.; Ogren, Marissa; Sandhofer, Catherine M. – Developmental Psychology, 2022
The ability to categorize emotions has long-term implications for children's social and emotional development. Therefore, identifying factors that influence early emotion categorization is of great importance. Yet, whether and how language impacts emotion category development is still widely debated. The present study aimed to assess how labels…

Jiang, Hang; Frank, Michael C.; Kulkarni, Vivek; Fourtassi, Abdellah – Cognitive Science, 2022
The linguistic input children receive across early childhood plays a crucial role in shaping their knowledge about the world. To study this input, researchers have begun applying distributional semantic models to large corpora of child-directed speech, extracting various patterns of word use/co-occurrence. Previous work using these models has not…

Krok, Windi; Norton, Elizabeth S.; Buchheit, Mary Kate; Harriott, Emily M.; Wakschlag, Lauren; Hadley, Pamela A. – Topics in Language Disorders, 2022
Although language samples are child-friendly and well-suited for obtaining global measures of language production, structured protocols have the potential to elicit many different exemplars of language structures in a shorter amount of time. We created a structured elicitation protocol, the Sentence Diversity Priming Task (SDPT), to efficiently…

Kautto, Anna; Mainela-Arnold, Elina – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2022
Background: 'Late talkers' (LTs) are toddlers with late language emergence that cannot be explained by other impairments. It is difficult to predict which of these children continue to present long-term restrictions in language abilities and will later be identified as having a developmental language disorder. Procedural memory weaknesses have…

Neaum, Sally – Early Years: An International Journal of Research and Development, 2022
This paper reports a finding that emerged from a wider study into children's engagement with literacy provision in child-initiated play. In this observation-based study 25 of the 42 children involved were observed engaging a particular form of participation, a learning modality that aligns with Rogoff's et al.'s (2003) description of first-hand…

Arnaus Gil, Laia – International Journal of Multilingualism, 2022
The successful acquisition of a heritage language (HL) has been the focus of much of the research on early bi-, tri- and multilingualism in the last years, since it is this language which is generally delimited within the family environment and finds less continuity outside this context once the multilingual child starts socialising in the…

Sandy Abu El Adas – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Previous studies show that linguistic information and talker information interact during processing. Familiarity with a language facilitates talker processing, and familiarity with a talker's voice facilitates linguistic processing. To probe the factors involved in talker processing, researchers examined how individual differences in reading…

Melissa McGraw – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Multilingual learners labeled as disabled have less access to bilingual educational programming compared to their nondisabled peers. As well, special education teachers have not been prepared to support multilingual learners. Therefore, the present study examined whether coaching may be an effective form of professional development for special…

Edwin Ko – Language Documentation & Conservation, 2022
This paper examines social interactions between caregivers and youths at two language revitalization camps of Northern Pomo, a dormant language of Northern California. Drawing from video- and audio-recorded interactions at the two camps, I examine the discursive strategies caregivers use while collaborating with youths in joint language-learning…

Shuyan Wang – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Scalar implicatures (SIs) lie at the interface between semantics and pragmatics, and therefore have evoked great interest for language acquisition research. Many acquisition studies show that young children know the literal semantics of scalar items (like "some", "might", "start" and "or") but have…

Padmanabha, C. H. – Journal on Educational Psychology, 2020
A newborn arrives in this world with the inherent capacity to learn. This includes simple reflexes such as sucking, Moro reflexes, grasping etc. These "pre-installed" capacities help the baby to survive, particularly in the early months before there has been time to gaining new capabilities through learning. Once an infant starts to…

Luchkina, Elena; Morgan, James L.; Williams, Deijah J.; Sobel, David M. – Child Development, 2020
This study examined how inferences about epistemic competence and generalized labeling errors influence children's selective word learning. Three- to 4-year-olds (N = 128) learned words from informants who asked questions about objects, mentioning either correct or incorrect labels. Such questions do not convey stark differences in informants'…
