Thesis Abstract

<p> This research project aims to investigate the phonological development of bilingual children, exploring the acquisition and use of sounds, words, and language patterns in multilingual contexts. The study will examine the impact of bilingualism on phonological development, considering factors such as language exposure, language dominance, and cross-linguistic influence. By delving into the phonological development of bilingual children, the research seeks to provide insights into the unique linguistic processes and challenges faced by multilingual learners. <br></p>

Thesis Overview

<p> </p><div><div><div><div><div>The phonological development of bilingual children represents a complex and dynamic area of study, encompassing the linguistic, cognitive, and sociocultural dimensions of language acquisition in multilingual contexts. This research project seeks to delve into the intricate processes of phonological development in bilingual children, aiming to provide a comprehensive understanding of the unique challenges and patterns observed in multilingual language acquisition.</div><div>Bilingualism presents a rich context for the study of phonological development, as children navigate the acquisition of sounds, words, and language structures across multiple linguistic systems. The investigation will explore the impact of language exposure, language dominance, and cross-linguistic interactions on the phonological development of bilingual children. By examining the theoretical frameworks, phonological patterns, assessment methods, and intervention strategies relevant to bilingual phonological development, this research project seeks to elucidate the multifaceted nature of language acquisition in multilingual contexts.</div><div>Methodologically, the research will adopt an interdisciplinary approach, drawing on insights from linguistics, psychology, and education to investigate the phonological development of bilingual children. The study will employ a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods, including longitudinal observations, language assessments, and intervention evaluations, to uncover the phonological processes and challenges experienced by bilingual learners.</div><div>By investigating the phonological development of bilingual children, this research aims to contribute to our understanding of the complex interplay between bilingualism and phonological acquisition. The findings will have implications for educational practices, language assessment, and intervention strategies, offering insights into the ways in which bilingual phonological development can be supported and enhanced in diverse linguistic and cultural contexts.</div></div><div><div><div><div><div></div></div><div><div></div></div></div><div><div><div></div></div><div><div></div></div><div><div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div><div><br> </div></div><br><p></p>
