Tense Markers in Kannada Speaking Intellectual Disabled Children

Satish. K and Dr. T. A. SubbaRao

Abstract

In Indian setup there are a limited number of studies in language acquisition. The present study focuses on acquisition of tense form in Kannada speaking intellectual disabled children. In Indian context, the practice of speech language pathologists is dampened in the task of providing qualitative language assessment and therapy for children with delayed language development, due to the lack of data on language development in Kannada speaking intellectual disabled children. So establishing data base in this aspect will help SLPs in providing qualitative service. Detailed research on language acquisition in Kannada speaking intellectual disabled children will provide important information for assessment and intervention.

Keywords: language acquisition, acquisition of tense forms, intellectual disabled children, Kannada

Introduction

Language is a complex and dynamic system of conventional symbols that is used in various modes for thought and communication. Contemporary views of human language hold that:

• Language evolves within specific historical, social, and cultural contexts;
• Language, as rule-governed behavior, is described by at least five parameters—phonologic, morphologic, syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic.
• Language learning and use are determined by the interaction of biological, cognitive, psychosocial, and environmental factors.
• Effective use of language for communication requires a broad understanding of human interaction including such associated factors as nonverbal cues, motivation, and sociocultural roles. (American Speech and Hearing Association, 1982)
