CLA PLAN
Intro
AO3
– Context, age, surroundings, relationships
AO2
– Telegraphic/ Post telegraphic
Paragraph 1
Linguistic
evidence of telegraphic/post telegraphic stage
·
Conjunctions/
Complex/ Compound utterances (post telegraphic)
·
Structure of
what they say – simple
·
Spontaneous
stage – features textually influenced by the context
·
Post
telegraphic – rarely omits lexis, utterances are complete
·
Some
examples of complex syntax
·
Address
terms/ pronouns – post telegraphic (he/she/us/we)
·
Struggle asking
questions – intonation to show that it’s a question (phonological features)
·
Turn taking
(pragmatics)
·
Negatives (telegraphic)
struggles to negate/ struggle with auxiliary verbs
·
Semantic ability
outstrips phonological ability
Paragraph 2
·
Virtuous
errors
·
Determiners
(struggle inaccurate) – here/there
·
Wug test – Jean Berko Gleason (shows we have a LAD)
·
TENSE –
suffixes
Paragraph 3
·
Chomsky –
LAD theory (Chomsky argued that children will never acquire the tools needed
for processing an infinite number of sentences if the language acquisition
mechanism was dependent on language input alone.)
·
Morphology –
morphemes (suffixes and prefixes)
·
Demonstrate
inconsistent or incorrect word order when speaking
·
Use a
limited number of grammatical markers (e.g. –ing, a, the, possessive ‘s, be
verbs)
·
Have
difficulty understanding and using past, present and future verb tenses
·
Show limited
understanding and use of plural forms
·
Struggle
with story retell tasks
Paragraph 4
·
Adult
influence - Find an example of language learnt from caregiver
·
Imitation/ Reinforcement
·
Skinner – Taught
how to speak
Paragraph 5
·
Adult influence
on language
·

Language/ accent dialect
Paragraph 6
·
The forbidden

·
FOX P 2
·
Lenneberg –
CAP (1967) Not be able to communicate
·
This suggest
that skinner and Chomsky are both right
·
Born with a
LAD but no communication it does not matter
·
Speak to the
child in many different contexts as possible
·
Learns more
before being at school than being at school all day (Jean Berko-Gleason)
Paragraph 7
·

about caregiver’s language in transcript
·
Convergence
·
Positively
reinforcement (repeat back )
·
Scaffolding/Repeating/False
starts (Spontaneous speech)/ Reformulations
·
The
caregiver uses an abundance of interrogative syntax – sets the agenda
·
The caregiver

features)
·
Inclusive
pronouns
Paragraph 8
·
Focus on
transcript – Lexis and Grammar
·
Relate to
CLA
Paragraph 9
·
Gender
Conclusion
·
Summarize
findings – telegraphic /post telegraphic
o
Relationship/Age/Formality/Context
·
Although the
study of CLA is relatively new, recent research and the identification of
FOX-P-2 clearly shows Chomsky’s LAD is likely to exist, however, it needs to be
stimulated for children to fully develop language.
