Document Summary
Children are egocentric & developmentally predisposed to view the world from only their perspective. Conversations between young children tend to be monologues. When children who are learning language make an irregular past tense verb regular by adding a /d/, /t/, or /id/ sound, they are overgeneralizing the past tense rule that applies to most verbs in the english language. Universal grammar (ug) they system of grammatical rules and constraints that are consistent in all world languages. Children are born with linguistic competence & that mistakes and omissions in their speech indicate performance difficulties and not a lack of competence. What are 3 practices of direct applications of language theory (and research): prevention, intervention, remediation. To inhibit language difficulties from emerging & thus reduce the need to resolve such difficulties later in life. The ability to focus on the sounds that make up syllables and words, & well- developed phonological awareness can help children succeed in later reading instruction.
