Utterance

developmental articulation disorder and expressive language disorder. One thing that surprised me was that most of the activities during the therapy session are the client is just playing and then the clinician tries to get him to produce words and utterances. One specific experience that I remember was the first session I observed. The clinician had her dog in the therapy room during the session. The dog was involved in an activity, but the client did not seem that interested in the dog. The…

people properly. Especially the communication between a native speaker with a second language speaker of English. One of the important things to second language speaker of English is the ability to understanding the meaning of words and sentence in utterance or literature. This process becomes particularly interesting in the case with lexically ambiguous words. When a word has more than one meaning, one meaning must be chosen while somehow retaining the possibility of using the alternative…

Narratives are stories about real or imagined events that are constructed by putting the sentences together provided a situational context, characters, actions, motivations, emotions, and outcomes (Gillam & Pearson, 2004). Narration is important for academic, social, linguistic, and cultural learning. Children use narratives to relate events and express their thoughts and feelings about important topics.

The utterance itself does not inform about his conditions on other nights, however there is a possibility that the reader will make a conclusion that the person might have problems with alcohol (op.cit). The reader might conclude that his sobriety on that night was a special situation. That supposition does not result from the meaning or structure of the utterance but from the way in which captain communicate (op.cit). Such kind of…

experience extreme difficulty communicating with others. Language skills include lack of turn-taking, replying, answering or asking questions during conversations. Studies have shown that children with CP produce few utterances and use more monosyllabic utterances than multisyllabic utterances (Pirila et al, 2007). Feeding and swallowing problems are also seen in patients with CP. Studies have shown that 57% of children have sucking problems, and 38% have swallowing problems (Pakula et al,…

Unlike other questions such as "how did you spend your holiday," which requires more talk and longer utterance, students did not keep silence but can give some answers. Student 1 immediately gave answer "flowers",…

suitable suggestions to assist the next stages of Jack’s vocabulary development. Firstly, Jack does not have two-word combinations which should be present around 2 years of age. This is evident during pretend play as words were not merged to form an utterance. Additionally, his understanding of two-word level actions with toys and pictures were inconsistent. Consequently, Jack is at the one-word stage in his speech development which is seen in 1-2-year olds. Therefore, I would encourage Jack’s…

The concept of monologue may be ambiguous. The only thing that the various standard definitions of monologue actually have in common is the fact that they define it as the opposite of dialogue and that they, therefore, assign every dramatic utterance to one or other of these two formal categories. The definition of monologue depends therefore on how the contrast between monologue and dialogue is understood. According to Pfister, there are several criteria to take into consideration when debating…

more confined and narrowing-down information on the topic to the audience. Moreover, he uses force of Quality such “really” and “even” as he declares his willingness to find out the truth on the issue by calling the police back as he winds up his utterances.
