Video #1 The first video is of an 8 year old boy, AA. Though this video does not provide background on AA’s speech and language history in order to make any concrete judgment, we may observe for potential therapy.

Viewing auditory comprehension as a child’s difficulty with multi-step instructions, listening, and having…

Hence, by displaying Charlie’s…

It starts of slow, for the first 20 weeks the infant will typically make cooing sounds, and whilst cooing they will also make various vowel and consonant sounds. At 6-12 months the infant begins to babble, focuses on the phonemes, rhythm, has an intonation of language spoken in the home, and begins saying single words. 12-20 months they use word-gesture combinations combined with variations in intonation, and uses two-word…

common. “There are about 5000 languages spoken in the world today (a third of them in Africa), but scholars group them together into relatively few families - probably less than twenty.

In many cases that original language is judged by the experts to have been spoken in surprisingly recent times -…

How do we decide what is correct and incorrect in terms of grammar and who decides this? Prescriptive rules and language authority are often talked about in the book How English Works by Anne Curzan and Michael Adams (Curzan and Adams, 2012).

I would limit these rules based off of language authority and grammar rules. Back to the question stated in the introduction, who…
