Thesis discussion. ; By two years of age children are using singular and plural words appropriately in their speech (Brown 1973), yet it is unclear whether their early representations are adult-like. It is not known how and when children develop the understanding that a word such as cats is composed of the lexical root cat and the plural morpheme -s (i.e., cat+s). The aim of this thesis was to therefore to explore some of the factors that potentially affect young children's understanding of the marking of nominal number in English. ; The studies presented in chapters two and three examined children's early comprehension of singular and plural using a novel-word Intermodal Preferential Looking task (Kouider, Halberda, Wood & Carey, 2006). In chapter two, the results found that 24-month-olds had an understanding of plural morphology that was limited to the voiceless plural allomorph /-s/ (e.g., cat + /s/), which is longer in duration and more perceptually salient than the voiced allomorph /-z/ (e.g., dog + /z/). However, the results presented in chapter three suggested that perceptual salience was not the only factor to play a role in children's acquisition of plural morphology, as 36-months-olds, but not 30-month-olds, were found to understand the most perceptually salient syllabic allomorph /-əz/ (e.g., bus + /əz/). ; The studies presented in chapters four and five examined pre-schoolers' understanding of singular and plural using a novel-word forced choice task. In chapter four, the study found 3- to 5-year-olds' comprehension of novel plurals, yet not novel singulars, improved with age. The study in chapter five examined children with hearing loss, which is known to affect children's acquisition of English plural and tense inflections, likely due to difficulty perceiving fricatives (Koehlinger, Owen Van Horne, & Moeller, 2013). Overall, the children with hearing loss were no better than chance at identifying novel plurals and singulars. However, comprehension of novel plurals improved with age. The thesis concludes with a discussion of the acquisition of morphological representations more generally. ; Mode of access: World wide web ; 1 online resource (179 pages) colour illustrations Keyword: Comparative and general -- Morphology; Grammar; language acquisition; Language acquisition -- Age factors; linguistics; morphology URL: http://hdl.handle.net/1959.14/1268531 BASE Hide details 8 The systematic elements underlying the expression of futurity in English: an ESL perspective O'Byrne, Judith Anne. - : Sydney, Australia : Macquarie University, 2017 BASE Show details 9 The role of bilingual dictionaries in second language learning: a case study of Saudi students in Australia Almoayidi, Khedir Attaf. - : Sydney, Australia : Macquarie University, 2016 BASE Show details 10 Fluent or non-fluent? that is the question: Uncovering the cognition of L2 learners whose L2 Academic fluency exceeds their L2 everyday fluency Hashem, Rabab Ahmed. - : Sydney, Australia : Macquarie University, 2016 BASE Show details 11 Exploring the perception of phonemic vowel length contrasts: evidence from infants and adults Chen, Hui. - : Sydney, Australia : Macquarie University, 2016 BASE Show details 12 Learning morphophonological alternations across languages and populations Tomas, Ekaterina. - : Sydney, Australia : Macquarie University, 2015 BASE Show details 13 The acquisition of constraints in child Mandarin An, Shasha. - : Sydney, Australia : Macquarie University, 2015 BASE Show details 14 Speaking anxiety among Saudi ESL learners studying in Australia Al Yami, Abeer. - : Australia : Macquarie University, 2015 BASE Show details 15 Grammatical knowledge in children with autism Khetrapal, Neha. - : Sydney, Australia : Macquarie University, 2015 BASE Show details 16 Dynamics of bilingual early childhood education: parental attitudes and institutional realisation Benz, Victoria. - : Sydney, Australia : Macquarie University, 2015 BASE Show details 17 The interpretation of logical connectors by monolingual and bilingual children Geçkin, Vasfiye. - : Sydney, Australia : Macquarie University, 2015 BASE Show details 18 Early child bilingualism: cross-linguistic influence in the simultaneous acquisition of German and English Genske, Katharina. - : Sydney, Australia : Macquarie University, 2014 BASE Show details 19 The children's acquisition of shenme in Mandarin Chinese Liao, Min. - : Sydney, Australia : Macquarie University, 2014 BASE Show details 20 The temporal (re-)construal of experience: how native speakers of English and advanced Chinese learners select and interpret simple past/present tenses Xu, Jiahuan. - : Sydney, Australia : Macquarie University, 2013 BASE Show details Page: 1 2
