[Perception of sounds emitted by children during the second year of life by russian-speaking listeners].
The aim of this study was to investigate the characteristic of information sufficiency in speech of children during their second year of life. We tried to select those elements of child's speech which have the main meaning in successive recognition of the sense of child's utterances by adults. The vocal phonemes from child's words and syllabic structure of words in child's utterances, were quite successfully recognized. Unclear articulated consonant's phonemes caused mistakes in recognition. Auditors with professional experience of analysis of child's sounds described the phoneme consequences of child's signals and the scence of child's words more clearly.
Abstract This article explores the impact of Proposition 227 on students and teachers based on interviews with parents, teachers, and administrators of a school in the Bay Area. We discuss four themes that emerge from the data: parent involvement, academic impact on students, the instructional challenges posed by Proposition 227, and the emotional impact on teachers and students. Connecting these themes is an overemphasis on language of instruction, which we found to overshadow other issues critical to the education of language minority students.
