English is an international language that is widely used in business, information and technology, advertising, broadcasting and so on. A high level of English proficiency is a must if students want to embark into these fields after their schooling days. Teachers are playing a vital role in polishing the students’ proficiency of English in speaking to meet the demand of the job. According to Bulley (2004), the most decisive element for English is sound. Zaidan & Jassem (1997), also agree and states
provide a system of notation fully amenable to computational analysis. To solve these problems, the connectionist models of James McClelland and David Rumelhart in Explorations in Parallel Distributed Processing (1988) are applied to the analysis of English poetic meter. The model graphically illustrates the dynamics of a poetic line and incorporates a number of features associated with the actual oral performance of a poetic text, while providing a notational system that allows mathematical analyses
that they make while using the language. These mistakes can be detected at different language domains. Therefore, children form their language hypotheses at various domains such as phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and vocabulary. The first language domain in which children can create their hypothesis is phonology. Demuth (2011) proposed that children have their own-rule based phonological system (p. 574). For example, children tend to produce CV words more than CVC words. As a result, they

For years, phonology has been incorporated into language education. Young children are introduced to phonics as educators take them through visual flash cards, teaching them the sounds of the alphabet. Children learn to connect sounds into words, using what they learned from the alphabet to apply a system of sounds into a word. Controversy regarding this reading education method has additionally been popular. Although researchers have found negative effects in learning to read phonologically
long vowel is also situate at the end of the word, this rule is not observe. Ex: French, vert [ve:r] and verdure [verdu:r] English, keep [ki:p], and green [gri:n] (2) Those examples shows violation of the above rule stated where no coda could be accommodated into a rhyme with long vowel or heavydiphthong. 2- The case of word-finally consonant cluster. Words in English like kept, child, find…pose several problems in phonological analysis. First problem would be the rule about “no branching
The explanation of the intonation system of a particular language or dialect is a particularly difficult task since intonation is paradoxically at the same time one of the most universal and one of the most language specific features of human language. Intonation is universal due to the fact that every language possesses intonation. This was made by Hockett (1963) one of his list of ten noteworthy experimental generalisations about languages: generalisations which we should not necessarily want
with a language would be too shallow and would fail to build a strong and meaningful enough connection to account for a new linguistic identity. There are a few intrinsic elements that define language identity, such as the lexicon, grammar, phonology, syntax. Those are relatively objective and can be assimilated through education and thus, they
As using flashcards have been found massively effective repeatedly in learning, it can be recommended to teach reading as an effective teaching strategy in mainstream primary school setting without being questioned due to its efficacy. Summary of supporting evidence Flashcards are a simple, versatile, and effective for learning skills like sounds, letters, historical dates etc. (Maheady & Sainato, 1985). Multiple intelligence theory that suggests appealing all the different learners at some point
Types of Speech Errors Garrett (1975) represented four characteristics of slips of the tongue. The first one is that the exchange exists between linguistic units of the same positions. For example, initial linguistic segments are replaced by another initial linguistic segment. The same generalization is applied to the middle and final linguistic segments. Additionally, slips appear in similar phonetic units. This means that that the consonants are replaced by consonants and vowels are replaced by
Analysis of Poem, The Garden of Love from William Blake’s Songs of Innocence and Experience Blake’s poems are divided into two sections, Songs of Experience and Songs of Innocence. Under Songs of Innocence, Blake seems to present his readers with innocence as freedom from sin, moral wrong, and guilt. In Songs of Experience, Blake seems to present the faults and sufferings of mankind. Innocence and experience are contradictory viewpoints. When one is innocent, one is not aware, therefore one
From the moment an infant is born, it is bombarded with sounds that the brain attempts to categorize. Within the first year of life alone, infants already show preferences for phonologically legal structures in their native language when compared to illegal consonant structures (Friederici et al., 1993). While a personal lexicon is not developed until later in childhood, the early stages, primarily the recognition of word segmentation, begins within the first year of life. The topic of what the important

CAS is a very specific disorder with a very specific profile, and is thus different from “typical” speech sound disorders. The hypothesis of CAS in ASD (the CAS-ASD hypothesis) is that “CAS contributes to the inappropriate speech, prosody, and/or voice features reported in some children and adults with verbal ASD” (Shriberg et al., 2011, p. 405). For this to be true, the speech, prosody, and voice findings in children with ASD must not only be unusual or disordered, but they must also fit into the
1.0 Introduction Reduplication is one of the word formation processes demonstrated in many languages of the world. In Bantu languages, the common word formation processes are the agglutinative nature of languages (affixation), borrowing, compounding and reduplication (Contini-Morava 2007). ‘Reduplication in Bantu languages is phonological as it has the phonological constraints that are based on the prosodic features’ (Odden 1996). In Bantu languages reduplication processes are either complete or
set up is different in many ways to the English style of language. English consists of some sounds that don’t exist in Japan such as “c”, “f”, “l”, “q”, “v”, and “x”. When the Japanese want to speak these sounds they have to use Japanese syllables that sound the same ("Speaking and Writing”). The Japanese use 100 distinct syllables to speak and write. These syllables are never accented like they are in English. One of the greatest differences between English and Japanese is the way they speak and
Teaching Phonemic Awareness Children learn spoken language by hearing the sounds that are being spoken. This process is known as phonemic awareness. Phonemic awareness is the ability to notice, to think about, and to work with the individual sounds in spoken words. The understanding of phonemic awareness is that the sounds of spoken language work together to make words (Reading Rocket, 2015). Phonemic awareness is very important for children because it is essential for them to learn to read
first word that she pronounced is her name ‘Nayli’, she pronounced it correctly without emitting the first consonant which ‘n’ is a nasal resonance. Thus, with such progress, I am interested to analyze her language development especially on her phonology. 1.2 Settings The recording was made in a living room while Nayli was having a play time with her mother. During the recording session, she was given a book, titled ‘Sleep Tight!’ to identify the characters in the book and also, the activity of

The five components of reading are phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. These five components work together to form a child’s reading experience. • Phonemic awareness is important because it improves student’s ability to read unfamiliar words by sounding them out. It also improves comprehension when reading. If a student has phonemic awareness he or she can identify words that start with the same sound, the beginning and ending sounds of words, combine and blend
