What are the vocabulary of children ages 1-5?
Maybe you are a little generous on the number of words for each one of the five periods you indicate. The 1st year (3-10 months) is characterized by cooing, and babbling. Babble becomes advanced but doesn't reach the stage of distinctive words. 12-18 months one-unit words like cookie or milk are heard. Vocabulary is over 50 words. 18-24 months there is an acceleration and the child can put two words together, words like cat and black but not necessarily in the order "black cat" but maybe "cat black". From age 2 years to 5 the child continues building vocabulary reaching over 2000 words. During all the 5-year period the child learns at his own pace regardless of instruction from parents. The child does not "imitate" his parents and will go on making the past of such verbs as go and come as goed and comed. Do not feel embarrassed if the child does it. He or she will come to correct themselves as they grow up. A good introductory source on this topic is in George Yule book The Study Of Language especially the chapters Language and the brain and First language acquisition.
I have an assignment at school to dress as a vocabulary word my word is transparent what could i do?
Put a shirt on the doll that says "Tran." Carry a diaper bag and push the doll around in a stroller. (Get it? You're Tran's parent!) :o)
My son has to dress like one of his vocabulary words. His word is "setting". How do you dress like this word?
Tape a paper plate to his shirt. Tape a napkin and a plastic fork and knife to his sleeve, and tape a plastic cup to his hat. He can go as a place setting! If he's doing the other type of setting, he could dress up like a tree a pretend he's a forest. (green shirt, hat, brown pants) Take a plastic bowl, color it brown, put sticks and a toy egg in it for a bird's nest. If you have stuffed animals like bears you can put them in a bag so he can take them out and spread them around if he has to present.
Your vocabulary has been limited to three words for the rest of your life. Which three do you choose?
This is quite simple for me:KillMePleaseWith these three words, I can, in no uncertain terms, communicate my anguish with the situation, and the only possible rectification for such.Look, my life is fucked. If my vocabulary is reduced to three words, this means I won’t know how to type any other words, or understand any other words. If you ask me “But why do you want to kill yourself?”, I would only understand “kill”, since all of the other words would fall outside of my lexicon. And that’s the part every other person who has answered has missed. The scenario was not “You are limited to saying three words for the rest of your life”, but “Your vocabulary has been limited to three words for the rest of your life.” Any word outside of your vocabulary, you cannot use, use encoding tricks to get out, or understand in any manner whatsoever.Given what exactly it means to have your vocabulary limited to three words, there’s little reason for you to stay alive. You have no further ability to effectively communicate, to understand, or even read. It’s like being a severely mentally disabled person, except you’re full cognizant, aside from the limited use and understanding of linguistics except to just three words.Your existence is thus relegated to nearly unending frustration, misery, and suffering, and is best ended at the earliest possible convenience, since any delay on the behalf of others would be the complete opposite of compassion.EDIT: Many of you might wonder why not “I love you”. Think about it. You might think that’s a happy way to go, since you’d be fine not just being limited to saying, but also limited to understanding, for the rest of your life. Case closed, right? Except it’s not case closed. That’s just the quick way to answer and move on without having to take a cold, hard look at the implications. It took me all of fifteen seconds on the toilet to come to understand those implications, because they’re not hard to see.After forty, fifty, or more years of only being able to say, and understand, “I love you”, you will find those words to be empty, hollow, and devoid of utility or even meaning. You’ll find yourself questioning if the other person is being sincere, condensending, or merely saying it without any emotion behind it so that you’d have some brief burst of language that you can understand.Those three words as your choice would leave you wishing you could plead for death long before it naturally comes to you.
How many words should be in a 2 year olds vocabulary?
speech therapists ( and my doctor) say the like to see 5 dozen words by age 2. My son said 12 words at 24 months old. I had him evaluated by our local early intervention program ( sometimes called something like "first steps" or "help me grow"). they agreed that he needed some help adsent him to a speech therapist. After some basic tests she discovered that he has a disorder called verbal apraxia. He used sign language for the first months after he started weekly therapy, then it was like a lightswitch flipped and he finally "got it". He has been in therapy for the last 18 months due to lingering articulation problems, but all in all is doing very well. I will tell you that when he was tested at 27 months old, he had th expressive speech of a 15 month old! It is much better to go ahead and have early intervention assess you child now, and no wait until 3+ years old before you look for help. In many states, early intervention end at age 3. When EI ends, the local school system picks up, but they have stricter standards for who recieves help. We had to prove that my son's delay was a communication "disability" for him to go to special needs preschool. My insurance would consider a speech therapist to be a specialist and only pay the balance after a $50 co-pay PER VISIT ( they might also limit the number of sessions) ---he was seen 2x per week and she charges $40 per 30 minute session, so I would have had to pay $320 a month for therapy if I had NOT gone through EI. In my city it is free, in others it is a sliding fee scale.
My English vocabulary is poor. So, should I take the English language at A level?
Of the 7 answers already posted here, the only really helpful one is from Zeibura S Kathau; this is because the other six answers, however well-meaning, do not seem to be based on any knowledge of A level English Language.For non-native speakers of English, GCSE English is very difficult, and A level English Language is massively more so. Apart from anything else, the subject is not remotely as you probably imagine it; there are several different exam boards and specifications, but it tends to include such elements as children’s acquisition and development of language; the history and variety of the English language; the way English is represented in text forms; the ways in which spoken and written English are represented, and in which they differ; different forms of Englishes in different parts of the world; accent and dialect, and the ways in which they are perceived - and so on, and so on. Absolutely nothing there about extending your vocabulary, or writing a good letter or essay, or improving your grammar!So forget it, please, for your own sake: it will be too difficult for you, and will not be helpful.
My sons have a day coming up at school.."vocabulary day" dress like a word..any ideas? i have no clue?
Ooh you could always go for an emotion! Get him dressed up like "Indifferent" and get him to walk around all day with a lax expression Or an adjective like sleeping o.O Or something more adventureous if he can be bothered to stay in character! XD
Why would a homeschooled child regress in vocabulary soon after she’s enrolled in a public school? My child’s vocabulary is very advanced but now she speaks slang, incorrect pronouns, double negatives, etc. How can I correct this?
When I was but a wee child, I wasn’t homeschooled, but I was—to put it frankly—ahead of pretty much all of my classmates. That was a defining reason for me not having many friends, and when I say that, I mean I had 2–3 good friends for a very long time.So I talked like a mini adult, spitting out vocabulary my classmates barely knew. Fourth grade spelling test: spell “book.” Small Me: reading chapter books since first grade.I get to middle school, and it’s getting kinda better. I have more than two friends and I’m talking a little bit more. But my kind of extracurricular activities included writing the literature magazine and doing Model United Nations, so….High school.I can safely say that I have never been happier, and never had more friends than I do now. I have people I actually share hobbies with. I’m improving in my academics and my art and I’m challenged but mostly I’m interacting with other people.So I curse more. I use slang I used to deride. I do stupid teenager things like dab to make my friend laugh or quote Vines I only watched after Vine died or send memes to my friends. Cursing is my baseline, though. I used to be the goody two shoes who tried to get her friends to stop cursing. Now? No.Your child is acclimating to a new environment. Talking in perfect grammar with high-end vocab? Take it from someone who used to do the same—your kid will get ridiculed for that. Even now, I’ll say something and stop conversation as people try to figure out what word I just said.People in general don’t use perfect grammar and vocab. Exposure to others has just introduced her to a new culture, one that she is now a part of, and so one that she’s trying to really become a part of, so she isn’t the outcast. Like I was for so long.New environment, new speech habits. It happens. Your kid isn’t getting dumber or anything—they’re just changing a bit.You probably can change it, but you’ll probably make your kid resent you, and likely they’ll be slangin’ it up away from you anyway.Let ‘em be. It’s life. Please don’t try to correct them.
Does Donald Trump have a limited vocabulary?
That seems obvious. It would be a better thing if Trump were more artful with his choice of words, however, he won the election with just such candor. The ‘never Trump’ crowd, certainly, wish his verbal expression was greater nuanced.The opposition is incited by each word of his seemingly limited vocabulary. For some it is refreshing not to listen to the limited truth in a politically correct driven orator, and the whining appeasement. Each 24hr news cycle is spent with media types looking for ‘dog whistles’ and conservatives educating the outraged that there is nothing wrong with Trump calling a ‘spade a spade’ so in the whole it is mostly nice that Trump takes the shortest distance to the goal.
