Abstract

From birth, children learn to communicate in their local languages and dialects. This seminar will provide a cross-linguistic account of multilingual and monolingual children’s speech development. The seminar will begin with an overview of children’s speech development in over 70 languages and dialects across the world. Next international experts will describe speech development in languages such as Afrikaans, English, French, Greek, Hungarian, Jamaican Creole, Spanish, and Slovakian. First, each presenter will describe consonants, vowels, tones, prosody and word shapes. Next, they will present research evidence about children’s speech development. Finally, authors will review assessments, interventions, and resources that are available in each language. This information can be applied by speech-language pathologists to support children’s speech development.
