...An Investigation Into The Use Of Nouns By Four-Year-Olds During Play. Introduction In my investigation I will be looking at short extracts of the Channel Four TV show ‘The Secret Life of Four Year Olds’. This documentary followed ten Four Year Olds whilst they were at nursery. The nursery was specially equipped with cameras and microphones to capture the children’s speech development and social interactions. By analysing the transcript I will be able to investigate the theory of Katherine Nelson who stated, through her research and by logging children’s early language, words used can be placed in one of four categories with around 60% of those words being ‘naming words’ or nouns. By counting the number of nouns in short clips I will be able to determine if this theory is plausible. Theorist, Elizabeth Spelke said that of the nouns children know, the majority will be concrete nouns as they are logical and relate to objects they can see, hear, smell, feel and taste. By further exploring the types of nouns used by the children I aim to establish a link between both theories and see if they are still credible in today’s society. Methodology I am using an extract from ‘The Secret Life of Four Year Olds’, in order to use a non-biased selection. I will extract data to record the number of times in the running time of the programme the children use nouns compared to the number of words spoken. This quantitative approach will produce a solid basis from which I can further...

...ENGLISH GRAMMAR ADJECTIVE 1. An Adjective qualifies a noun or a pronoun. 2. Adjectives are divided into six different kinds : --- a. Proper Adjectives Proper Adjectives are derived from proper nouns. eg : a. Chinese soldiers fought bravely. b. We are studying the English language. In ( a ) the word " Chinese " is a proper adjective because it is derived from the proper noun " China " In ( b ) the word " English " is a proper adjective because it is derived from the proper noun " England ". Note -- Every proper adjective should begin with a capital letter b. Descriptive Adjectives Descriptive Adjectives qualify a noun by adding some quality or state to it. eg : a. A brave soldier killed the enemy. ( quality ) b. There are some sick soldiers in the hospital ( state ) c. Quantitative Adjectives Quantitative Adjectives indicate how much of a thing is meant. He has much rice. He has little rice. He has no rice. He has some rice. He has not any rice. He has enough rice. He has sufficient rice. He sold all the rice. d. Numeral Adjectives Numeral Adjectives express number. Numeral Adjectives are subdivided into (a) Definite and (b) Indefinite a) Definite Numeral Adjectives denote some exact number. Those which show how many things there are are called Cardinals; Those which show in what order things stand are called Ordinals. Cardinals : one, two three, etc. Ordinals : first, second, third, etc. b) Indefinite Numeral...

...Handy Handouts ® Free, educational handouts for teachers and parents* Number 294 Parts of Speech ( That’s a Noun!) by Rynette R. Kjesbo, M.S., CCC-SLP What Are “Parts of Speech?” Every word in the English language can be put into a category based on the function of the word in a sentence. The categories that words are put in are “parts of speech” or “word classes.” Knowing the parts of speech and their purpose helps us to understand sentences and create sentences that make sense. What Are the Different Parts of Speech? There are eight main parts of speech. They are represented in the following example: “Uh-oh! Sara pulled the jammed switch forcefully and it broke off in her hand!” • Noun – A noun is a word that names a person, place, or thing. Nouns can be proper nouns or common nouns. A proper noun refers to a specific person, place, or thing and is always capitalized. A common noun refers to a general person, place, or thing. “Sara,” “switch,” and “hand” are the nouns in our example sentence. “Sara” is a proper noun because it refers to a specific person. Other examples of nouns include David (proper noun), sister, Vermont (another proper noun), store, truck, and pen. • Pronoun – A pronoun takes the place of a noun. Pronouns typically refer back to nouns that are mentioned earlier. In our example sentence, “it” takes the place of “switch,” while “her” refers to “Sara.” Other examples of pronouns include me, him, our, I, you, and they...

Most of the major language groups spoken today, notably the Indo-European languages and Semitic languages, use almost the identical categories; Chinese, however, has fewer parts of speech than English.[1] The part of speech classification is the center of all traditional grammars. Traditional grammars generally provide short definitions for each part of speech, while many modern grammars, using the same categories, refer to them as “word-classes” or “form-classes”. To preface our discussion, we will do the same: Nouns A noun (Latin nomen, “name”) is...
