Participle Constructions Among Kannada Children with Intellectual Disability

Ms. Manasa Preethika, Final Post Graduate Student and
Dr. Satish Kumaraswamy, Ph.D. in Speech and Hearing

Introduction

Language development is a complex and important part of human cognition that substantially improves our ability to communicate and interact with our surroundings. While the majority of children learn to speak in their early years, some groups, such as children with intellectual disabilities (CWID) face delay or impairments in language development. Intellectual impairment is defined by significant limits in cognitive functioning and adaptive behaviour, which affects many elements of daily living, including language skills.

However, there is a scarcity of research in the Indian setting that focuses primarily on the language and communication elements of CWID. Despite the fact that the field of speech-language pathology in India is aware of changing theoretical perspectives and linguistic aspects in typically developing and language-disordered populations, there is still a need to understand the language skills of CWID in order to provide appropriate assessment and intervention.

Language is a complex and dynamic system of conventional symbols that is used in various modes for thought and communication.

Contemporary views of human language hold that

1. Language evolves within specific historical, social, and cultural contexts;
2. Language, as rule-governed behaviour, is described by at least five parameters
- phonologic, morphologic, syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic;
3. Language learning and use are determined by the interaction of biological, cognitive, psychological, and environmental factors;
4. Effective use of language for communication requires a broad understanding of human interaction including such associated factors as nonverbal cues, motivation, and socio-cultural roles.
