| description | Language Development Delay is one of the significant development problems in
children. When children do not reach the specific milestones of language development for their
age, they are classified as slow talkers. For this study, we will focus on two language
development issues, the issue of Universal vs Language Specific Patterns of Language
Development, and the Delay vs Deviance issue for late talkers. The study aims to compare
language development patterns in Bengali and English and also between late talkers and typical
talkers of the same language. The Language Development Survey, a 310-word checklist, was
used to collect data from day cares and hospital for this study. The results show significant effect
of language and gender and age on vocabulary scores. The results also show moderate cross-
linguistic concordance between Bengali and English. These results suggest moderate similarities
in language development across languages and also that culture has a significant effect on
language development, especially as children grow older and acquire more vocabulary. |
