Document Summary
Use: pragmatics (use of language in social context) By age 5 years, children have largely mastered the phonological system, but changes and improvement are seen through adolescence. Children become more uent at producing complex sounds and multisyllabic words. They also consolidate their underlying phonological representations = mental representations of phonemes and how they combine/don"t combine in language. E. g. measured by phonological awareness and memory. Phonological awareness is the ability to think about and manipulate the sounds in your language. Identify syllables in words (90% correct by age 6) Separate onset and rime (by age 3/4) Phonemic awareness is the awareness of phonemes as units of words part of phonological awareness. Learning the alphabet and learning to read. But there is also a heritable innate component. Lexical diversity: the number of different words used. Lexical density: the ratio of content words to total words. Lexical complexity: the frequency of polysyllabic words.
