Zach's Transcript

Zach's Language Transcript:

“I cutting around the edge” – omission
“don’t want to eat skins” – missing determiners
“we had some banana didn't we” and “you did just have some biscuits didn't you” – tag questions. Used to encourage him to answer the question even though she already knows the answer
“I think I don’t” – said in the wrong tense. Imitating what he hears other people saying
“I think you don’t” – repeating what he has already said for positive reinforcement
“frough” – this mispronunciation may be a result of trying to imitate what he has heard others saying as they have pronounces the 'th' as an 'f'
“what’s the lasagne” – over extension by category
“dose” – fis phenomenon. Instead of pronouncing the word correctly, Zach has said the word wrong as it’s easier for him to pronounce those sounds, so instead of ‘those’, he has said ‘dose’
“star” – by giving him praise, it encourages him to continue with what he had done or said correctly
“you did just have some biscuits didn't you? (1) what happened?” – closed/open questions allows him to answer the question in a more descriptive way
