Kannada Speaking Children

Dr. Satish Kumaraswamy and Mr. Nabeel Musthafa

Introduction

Language is a complex and dynamic system of conventional symbols that is used in various modes for thought and communication (American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, 1982).

The development of language is hierarchical. A basic sequence is followed, and early stages are essential for the development of subsequent stages. A vocabulary is the most important component in language ability. It is an important part of communication without which people cannot convey their messages appropriately (Nemati, 2008). Vocabulary occupies a central place in the language, and it has its own characteristics in terms of meaning and grammatical function (Mallikarjun, 2002). Vocabulary refers to the set of words that a child comprehends and uses (Susie, 2008). Educational research shows that vocabulary strongly relates to reading comprehension, intelligence, and general ability; Building up of vocabulary is essential to the learning of language especially at the primary level (Susie, 2008) Vocabulary can be split into two types: receptive vocabulary and expressive vocabulary.

A child's receptive vocabulary consists of the words the child understands when he/she hears or reads them. A child's expressive vocabulary consists of the words the child uses when he/she speaks. Vocabulary development studies have been conducted where the pattern of acquisition of the various categories like nouns, verbs, adverbs etc are obtained along with the age at which each of the categories are acquired. But the measurement patterns vary. Apart from this, the vocabulary development varies across languages.

It is very natural that parents/caregivers are the child's first vocabulary teachers.
