DESCRIPTION:Our Speakers:\nDr. Jan Edwards is a research scientist and Prof
 essor of\nCommunicative Disorders at the Waisman\nCentre\, UW-Madison. Dr.
 \nBenjamin Munson is an Associate Professor in the Department of Speech-La
 nguage-Hearing\nSciences\, University of\nMinnesota\, Minneapolis\nAbstrac
 t:\nIn the first few years of life\, most children learn to talk\,\nwhethe
 r they are learning to speak English\, or Korean\, or both\, and\nwhether 
 they live in a middle class American English home where\nmothers engage in
  intense interaction with the children using a\nspecial emphatic speech st
 yle that stresses nouns and labeling\, or\nin a Korean home\, where the an
 alogous infant-directed speech style\ninstead emphasizes verbs and the act
 ions that verbs name. Perhaps\nbecause of this rapid development\, the tra
 ditional view of\nphonological development has posited that developmental 
 changes in\nproductions patterns is the result of a largely automatic and
 \nautonomous process in which children move from a relatively\nuniversal p
 honological constraints to ones tailored to the ambient\nlanguage.\nSuch a
  view of phonological development makes many assumptions:\nfor example\, i
 t assumes that children’s phonological learning is\nbest described in term
 s of alphabetic transcription and that\npatterns of phonological developme
 nt are similar across different\nlanguages. It also predicts that phonolog
 ical disorders can be best\ncharacterized by deficits in abstract phonolog
 ical knowledge. In\nthis talk\, we will present analyses of data from two 
 projects in\nsupport of a more nuanced view of phonological development. T
 he\nfirst of these is from the paidologos project (ling.osu.edu…). The\npa
 idologos project is a cross-linguistic examination of\nfirst-language phon
 ological development across a number of\nlanguages\, including American En
 glish\, Cantonese\, Greek\, Japanese\,\nand Mandarin. The second is a proj
 ect that examined phonological\nknowledge deficits in children with phonol
 ogical disorders.\nThroughout the talk\, we will argue that phonological k
 nowledge is a\ncomplex system that involves many different levels of\nrepr
 esentation. The child’s task\, as a language learner\, is to\nlearn these 
 different levels and the mappings among them. Moreover\,\ndeficits in each
  of these types of knowledge lead to qualitatively\ndifferent speech and l
 anguage impairments.\n
