Formation of the semiotic component of speech in senior preschool children with logopathology

The scientific publication presents a theoretical and experimental-comparative analysis of the formation of the semiotic component of speech in senior preschool children with speech disorders. The purpose of the study is to investigate the dynamics of the development of the semiotic component of speech in senior preschool children with speech pathology after correctional educational and developmental intervention. The methods of the study are: theoretical − analysis of scientific sources to solve the problematic issue; empirical − use of diagnostic tools (tasks − educational, game, research, during which children with speech disorders study phonemic, lexical, grammatical and prosodic levels of speech; analysis; comparison), formative (game, verbal, exercises, etc.) and variable statistical (quantitative and qualitative) ones. Results of the study. Corrective educational and developmental work on the formation of the semiotic component of speech in senior preschool children with speech pathology took place at the propedeutic-foundational (preparing the child for the acquisition of basic speech and language knowledge and skills), variably sequential (providing a combination of visual and speech actions), speech-active (involving the child in the speech environment) stages. Additionally, the methods and techniques of correctional educational and developmental work are substantiated. The compared materials of the study of the ascertaining and formative experiments testified to the dynamics of the development of the semiotic component of speech in children with logopathology. The children studied improved their phonemic (perception, analysis and representation), lexical (expressive and impressive speech), grammatical (composing stories, agreeing verbs with the subject in number, declining nouns and adjectives, modifying verbs by person and number, use diminutives and pet forms of nouns in all genders and cases) and prosodic (normative voice power, speech rate, expressive intonation and clear diction) levels of speech
