ABSTRACT

This study aims to examine how late-talkers who are known to lack expressive vocabulary apply taxonomic assumptions at various semantic category levels. The participants were 20 late-talkers between 25 and 35 months in age and 26 general peers. At the basic semantic level and the superordinate semantic level, to observes taxonomic assumptions, we examined which stimulus was selected based on the presence or absence of a novel word among two stimuli (thematic and taxonomic). Late-talkers were found to be limited in using taxonomic assumptions at both the basic semantic level and the superordinate semantic level, regardless of the presence of novel words. On the other hand, in the case of general children, when the novel word was presented in the superordinate semantic level, the taxonomic stimulus was significantly higher than the wordless condition, so that the taxonomic assumption was applied. Based on these results, late-talkers were found to have limited use of taxonomic assumptions in vocabulary acquisition with regard to their peers, especially at the basic level compared to the superordinate semantic level.
