A Case study on the word-acquisition's development of a twenty two-month-old boy - Digital Collection of Petra Christian University

The writer of the thesis was interested in looking at the vocabulary acquisition
of a twenty-two-month-old boy. Therefore, she focused her study mainly on the
semantic and syntactic features of the word-acquisition-growth of a child, which was
based on the Brown?s theory. Through his analysis, Brown found that the children?s
word-acquisition-development pass through five stages from the early age, each of
which is characterised by an index, called MLU (mean Length Utterance): Based on
Brown?s result, the thesis writer did a case study on the vocabulary-acquisition of a
. twenty two month-old boy. Especially, she studied or looked at the one-word, two word
and other utterances? acquisition of the boy in order to know the average number
of morphemes in his utterances, the semantic and syntactic features of his utterances.
Later on, this could prove whether Brown?s theory was applicable or not for the word acquisition
development of the Indonesian children. Therefore, to gather the data, the
observer came to the respondent?s house around four times a week for over than two
months. As a participant observer, she liked to point to some objects or showed some
pictures of certain objects in a newspaper or magazine. Then, she asked the subject to
call them
