NarrativesCurrent LectureLinguistic Development- Taking Language to School- Major change in Language is Literacy (the ability to read and write)- Continue to grow semantics (vocab) and in every area- Readingo Opens minds to new thoughts, ideas, vocabulary, opinions, influences o Expands child’s world beyond his home and family to include school, community and world.o Increases receptive vocabularyo Improves morphology and syntaxo Enhances oral language skillso Improves overall learningThese notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture. GradeBuddy is best used as a supplement to your own notes, not as a substitute.Semantics- Rapid vocabulary growth during the school age year. - Largely due to reading- Child learns strategies for comparing words to one another:o Homonyms: share spelling but have different meanings (TIE, FORK)o Synonyms: different words but mean the same (sick/ill, big/large)o Antonyms: opposites (big/little)- Figurative Languageo Language that carries a meaning that is DIFFERENT from its literal senseo Emerges during school years o Allows children to “play” with language - Examples of Figurative Languageo Metaphors – figure of speech involving an implied comparison between two dissimilar things: He is a pig – a speeding bullet - a big teddy bear.o Similes – an explicit comparison between two things; uses “like” or “as”  He eats like a pig.
