Satish.K and Dr. T.A.SubbaRao

Abstract

This study aimed to identify the semantic relation and intention in Kannada speaking intellectual disabled children through language sample obtained on Conversation of Kannada speaking children with intellectual disability and compare type and presence of semantic relation and intention The present study included 30 children chronological age 11-18 years and mental age of 4-6 years as per the school records, diagnosed with intellectual disability according to DSM-IV and ICD-10 as participants of the study. The participants belonged to different age ranges with mental age between 4-6 years.

All the participants had a verbal repertoire of two-word phrases and were monolingual speakers of Kannada. The clinical group children were receiving speech, language and psychological intervention at the time of testing Statistical analysis was carried out further, using wilcoxon signed rank test

Result showed presence of all semantic intention and relations in general conversation Comparing the performance of the typically developing children with subjects with intellectual disability, subjects with intellectual disability performance were poor than typically developing children. The phases expressing the intention by clinical group were similar to reference group. Typically developing children appear to be using word suffixes with more ease

Introduction

Semantic intention is defined for the present purposes as being constituted by an independent attempt as renowned from simple spontaneous behavior to represent through some cognitively detained material a different object then the material itself. In this sense the concept of a material is used to include both concrete and abstract means that allow for the facility of symbolization. http://www.lingforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t

Several researchers have noted that at the first word level words are conceptualized as semantic intentions. When children combine these semantic intentions at phrase level, they are referred to as semantic relations. These utterances emphasize the continuances of meaning as basis for syntactic expansion.
