Análisis del nivel fonológico en alumnos de cuatro años: resultado, discusión y conclusiones

Abstract

The current Final Degree Project clarifies a series of previous terminological questions about language, language and speech, key terms of this research. Its definition helps to explain better how Early Childhood students acquire and develop language. Therefore, the functions, components and levels of language analysis will be addressed, and the main obstacles and disorders that may alter their development in this educational stage will be detailed. Finally, a speech analysis is proposed by means of a standardized evaluation test, developed by the student, whose main objective is to assess the phonological level of language in four-year-old boys and girls. The test intends for the students to pronounce different phonemes, diphthongs and symphonies and, in addition, it serves to evaluate the level of hearing, the movements of the articulator apparatus, respiration and phonological awareness. Finally, the results will serve to establish a series of conclusions that will be compared with other similar investigations.
