The Development of Children Pronunciation
ANALITIKA, 2018
Every child has a unique way of acquiring a language on his way to communicate with people around them. Some children find his way easily to ‘a good and appropriate pronunciation’ while other children ‘create’ his own and unique way. Understanding the pattern of unique or ‘false’ pronunciation can help parents understand their children’s language and be able to respond them appropriately. The study is aimed at describing the pattern of a baby boy’s pronunciation named Ghazi. Ghazi is 2.7 years old. He is mostly taken care by his mom who is a housewife and Dad who likes to spend his time feeding him. Ghazi is a healthy and energetic kid, surrounded by books for children to read and cartoons from youtube to watch. His favorite toy is hot wheels and show a big interest in animals. He has travelled across half of the country, visited many different places, and met different people and relatives to whom he communicates and makes friend easily. Based on his age, Ghazi are in the stage of ...

IDEAS: Journal on English Language Teaching and Learning, Linguistics and Literature
The study aims at finding out how the children in Pattani, Thailand acquire their first language acquisition. The study is focused on the children of three-year-old due to the fact that they are able invited to communicate in two ways and already comprehend the time when their turn to talk and when other person’s turn to talk. Therefore, the researcher wants to research the utterances in process of first language acquisition in phonology. The study is conducted to address the language acquisition in Melayu Pattani due to the fact that it does not identify in Melayu Malaysia. In addition, the study uses a descriptive qualitative method for analyzing and describing the production of children's utterances. The data were taken by recording and interviewing the children. Finally, it is inferred that children absolutely do the simplification, such as substitution, omission, and assimilation to help them to produce the utterance when they make the conversation.
Phonemes Acquisition of An Infant 2 Years Old
English Education : English Journal for Teaching and Learning
This research aimed to investigate the development of language acquisition at two years old especially phonemes acquisition. The data was collected by recording the child’s utterances in daily communication. The record was natural because the utterances recorded while the child was playing by phone. The child uttered without any setting. Based on the data analysis it was found that a child at two years old already able to produce words. Some consonant phonemes which was already produced the child are/b/,/d/, /g/,/k/, /l/, /m/, /n/, /p/, /t/, /y/, /c/. There are 9 variation of consonant phonemes such as /t∫/, /dj/, /ŋ/, /bh/, /dh/, /gh/, /’/, /ch/, /ph/. The total of phonemes acquired by the child is 20 phonemes. Furthermore, the child already can produce vowel phonemes such as /a/, /i/, /u/, /e/, /o/ and 4 variation of vowel phonemes like /∂/, /ʌ/, / ε/, / ô/.
Phonological Acquisition (Case Study on Indonesian Child)
Proceedings of the Seventh International Conference on Languages and Arts (ICLA 2018), 2019
This study aims to describe the acquisition of phonology including the acquisition of vowels, consonants, and diphthongs obtained by aIndonesian child. The research design used uses a qualitative method with a longitudinalcase study approach by following child's language development from 0 months to 4 years old, named KS. The findings of this study were that KS had obtained a complete vocal phoneme at 2;0 years old. Diphthong sound is mastered entering at 3;0 years. Consonant starts to be mastered at 2;0 years, however fricative sound [f], the sound of vibration [r] has not been mastered until the age of 4 years. Uniquely, if the consonant sounds located at the end of the word, KS replace it with a [n]. This happens because speech motor KS is incomplete or not yet fully developed. Thus, at the age of 4 years old, KS has been able to recite and obtain most of the phonemes in Indonesian.
Acquisition of Early Childhood Phonology : A Case Study of a 24 Months Toddler in Palembang
English community journal, 2022
This research aimed to describe the language acquisition of a toddler at the age of 24 months, seen from the phonological aspects, such as consonants, vowels, and diphthongs. This research was conducted in Palembang, on November-December 2021. The method used in this research was qualitative method through case study approach. The data were obtained from a toddler whose initial name was "MSM" as the respondent. The techniques for collecting the data were through observation and recording. The results of the analysis showed that the respondent was able to pronounce various phonemes existed in Bahasa Indonesia and Bahasa Palembang (Indonesian and Palembang Language). These phonemes consisted of 14 consonants which were /
AN ANALYSIS OF FIRST LANGUAGE ACQUISITION IN CHILDREN
The current study investigates the accessibility of a systematic pattern to children learning their first language, and also it is a try to show the effect of the quantity of input on first language acquisition. To these aims, two case studies were carried out on six children learning as their first language. The participants of the first study were three children acquiring their first language in Indramayu being followed for 12 months (24-36 months) to see if they all passed the same pattern in language development. The participants of the second study were three Children (who were exposed to less input) acquiring their first language in Indramayu being followed for 12 months (24-36 months) to see if the language development was affected considering the amount of input they were exposed to. In-depth interviews, observations, audio and video recordings, notes and reports were used to collect the data for this study. The data collected for each Children was analyzed separately, and the stages of development were reported for each children accordingly. The findings support the claim that the process of language acquisition depends on an innate language ability which holds that at least some linguistic knowledge exists in humans at birth, and also the input that learners receive plays a very important role in the language acquisition since the input activates this innate structure.
Methodological questions 1 Methodological questions in studying phonological acquisition
Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics
Two fundamental methodological questions concerning research on phonological acquisition are first, how to elicit a representative sample of productions and, second, how to analyze this sample once it has been collected. This paper address these two questions by reviewing relevant aspects of our experience in evaluating word-initial consonant accuracy from transcriptions of isolated-word productions elicited from 2-and 3-year-olds learning four different first languages (English, Cantonese, Greek, Japanese). We suggest that both researchers and clinicians should consider a number of different item-related factors, such as phonotactic probability and word length, when constructing word lists to elicit consonant productions from young children. We also propose that transcription must be supplemented by acoustic analysis and the perceptual judgments of naïve listeners.
Types of Consonant Sounds Acquired by a Malaysian Bilingual Child (2009)
Child language acquisition is a field of research that generates intense interest and yet can be so debatable, particularly, in specific areas of acquisition. Debates abound suggesting that biological endowment is the reason that enabled language acquisition while others believe that it is the environmental support which the child gets, besides his cognitive development. Where sounds precede words in acquisition, it has also been argued that children acquire vowels prior to consonants whilst naming words are more frequently articulated than action words. Nonetheless, from close observations of one Malaysian child, this study provides the vocalisations made by a child who had been brought up in a multilingual setting. This paper will show evidence of the acquisition of consonant sounds which are illustrated in the vocalisations he had made from the time he was born until age 12 months. Analysis of data will indicate that vowel sounds were acquired first but they were limited to only a few which were hypothesised to be easy to produce. In discussing the issue on the acquisition of consonants, this study also argues that only consonant sounds which are easier to develop are produced first. The findings of this study further suggest that the maturation of the vocal tract and the changes it incurs may have an impact on the child's ability to produce certain consonant sounds, some of which require more effort to produce as they are comparatively difficult. By difficult it is meant experiencing certain obstructions involving the lips and muscles. Some aspects of the data analysis seem to support the findings of previous studies while some displayed dissimilarities which will be discussed in the paper.
Phonological Development in Child Language Acquisition: A Study of a Child with Speech Delay
Journal of English Language Teaching and Linguistics
Children acquire language through interaction with other children, their parents, and their surroundings. Acquisition of language may influence children’s success at school. The language aspect that children acquire first is phonology. In acquiring language, children whose language development is slower than their peers may experience speech delay. Thus, the present study emerges to investigate the phonological development of a three-year-old child who is diagnosed with speech delay as well as to examine the factors that support the development. Using a qualitative approach, this study was a case study that employed a single participant. The results of the study indicated that the participant’s language ability developed significantly after several months of receiving therapy. He displayed an ability to produce imitative sounds and non-imitative ones. The spontaneous utterances were also meaningful compared to what he had before the therapy. The evaluation revealed that the developm...
