Importance And Importance Of Phonology

1106 Words5 Pages

Although for so many years the concept of phonology within the field of second language teaching seemed to be one of the less important ones, comparing its significance to concepts such as grammar or lexicon; recently, many different researches are being carried out and have already pointed out the importance of understanding and recognising such a concept as well as the need of including its teaching within the process of second language acquisition. Therefore and for the purpose of the present essay, it is essential to provide an accurate definition of the aforementioned term.
Because of that and according to Omolara’s (2011:1) contributions, phonology would be generally defined as the linguistic field or competence that “is concerned with the regularities that govern the phonetic realisations of sounds in words of a language and that looks and tries to establish a system of sound distinctions relevant to a particular language.” Furthermore, this same author states that phonology is that part of linguistics that is focused on the study of how sounds differ and behave in particular speeches, speakers and also in particular contexts.
However, although the previous definition provides such an appropriate approach to the concept, it is necessary to go a little further when talking about phonology. That is, it is quite essential to differentiate and have clearly in mind the different elements phonology deals with and is made up of. Therefore, regarding such an idea, it may be

    The purpose of this study was to examine the phonological encoding affects speech production and retrieval, and how this process may cause the TOT phenomenon (or also known as the ‘Tip of the Tongue’ effect). The researchers also studied whether age had an effect on the processes and incidents of encountering TOTs. In the first experiment, the study was made up of two groups, totaling 72 participants. Each group consisted of 36 individuals, and was divided based upon their age: young adults and older adults, respectively.

I’ve learned so much in my speech pathology classes, and I noticed something when I first looked at our linguistic readings.

  • What Is Phonological Awareness

    Phonological Awareness Training plus Letter Knowledge Training is a “general practice aimed at enhancing young children’s phonological awareness, print awareness, and early reading abilities” (website). This practice is adding two skills together, phonological awareness and letter knowledge training. Phonological awareness itself is the awareness of the sound structure of words is understanding that words are composed of phonemes, “the smallest units of sound in spoken words” (Smith, Simmons, & Kame’enui) and can be manipulated to make new words and involves training activities to teach children to “identify, detect, delete, segment, or blending segments of spoken words”( wwc) . According to Smith et al (1998), phonological awareness can be

    Firstly, Dillon, de Jong, and Pisoni (2011) define PA as the “conscious awareness that individual words have an internal phonological structure and can be broken down into linear sequences of sound units…” Secondly, Webb and Lederberg’s (2014) define PA as “Phonological awareness of spoken language is broadly defined as the sensitivity and ability to manipulate the sound units in words”. Ching and Cupples (2015) combine and simplify the two prior definitions by referring to PA as “awareness or conscious knowledge of the sound structure of a language and/or the ability to manipulate this sound structure”. Overall, these explanations are quite similar.

    Some children can potentially have speech, language and communication needs due to another condition, such as ADHD hearing difficulties and autism. This is why interventions are extremely important so that this is noticed early on. If not picked up on, this poses risk of them falling behind currently and not being able to access the full curriculum. They may get frustrated because they don’t have the word’s or skills to communicate how they are feeling. Friendships with their peers will be hard to make/maintain as they will be perceived as being naughty and this will have a knock-on effect on their social situations.

    In addition, interventions to improve phonological awareness abilities lead to significantly improved reading abilities. As Sam & Rojian (2013) added, the relationship between phonological awareness and reading abilities changes over time. All levels of phonemic awareness ability (syllable, onset-rhyme, and phoneme) contribute to reading abilities through early grades. The relationship between phonological awareness and literacy is often explained in terms of its role in decoding and encoding.

    At a very young age, children begin to develop an understanding of the spoken language used in their environment. Once in kindergarten, the journey of learning what makes up the spoken language begins. In English, language is divided into three different components that make up the understanding and learning ability of the alphabetic writing system. The three components, phonological awareness, phonemic awareness, and phonics skills are crucial factors in the student’s ability to read and write. Phonological awareness is a broad term, of how language is divided into key components needed for reading and writing.

    It is necessary for speech pathology programs to include an audiology course because the two fields are very closely related. Many speech language pathologists will most likely work with individuals who have multiple impairments, including hearing loss (Welling & Ukstins 2019). The auditory mechanism is also very important to the development of speech sounds and language. Having good hearing is crucial to a child’s success with speaking and participating in social situations as well. If a child has issues with proper social interaction, they will most likely go to a speech language pathologist for services.
