PROSODIC SPEECH FEATURES IN CHILDREN'S COMMUNICATION
Child language acquisition is directly connected with the development of thinking and cognitive development, what is reflected in a child’s play as a form of communication. As the most russian psychologists and phsycolinguists claim, play activity is the top priority at the preschool age. Acquiring the prosodic characteristics of the speech also plays an important part in language acquisition. This paper provides the analysis of prosodic features of child speech at different rates of emotional intensity (with the use of child’s play as an example) and makes the connection between the prosodic organization of the speech and the speaker’s intention. According to the results of our research, the personal prosodic characteristics of the self-identity speech vary from the ones of the role-identity speech/the personal prosodic characteristics differ depending on whether the speech act is made in self- or role-identity.
Keywords: children’s communication, prosodic organization of speech, emotional speech, rhythmic group
