| description | This study explores the phonological development of hearing-impaired Malay-speaking children,
shedding light on the unique challenges and patterns that characterise their phonological process.
The subjects of the research include 40 hearing aids Malay-speaking children with a chronological
age of 5 to 9 years old and hearing age of a minimum of 2 years. Utilising a mixed-method research
method, we examined the effect of hearing-impairment on the acquisition of Malay phonological
features and the association between socio-demographic factors and phonological process in
hearing-impaired Malay-speaking children. Through the analysis of speech samples and
sociodemographic information that were collected through a standardised picture naming task, it
was concluded that the phonological process in hearing-impaired Malay-speaking children is
fronting, assimilation, stopping, voicing, initial consonant deletion, epenthesis, deaffrication,
depalatalisation, denasalization, devoicing, prevocalic voicing, final consonant deletion,
reduplication, and gliding. Furthermore, there is a relationship between socio-demographic factors
and the phonological process in hearing-impaired Malay-speaking children. Lastly, hearing age is
an important variable that is statistically significant in predicting the relationship between
sociodemographic factors and phonological process in hearing-impaired Malay-speaking children.
The results of this research contribute to a deeper comprehension of the phonological development
of hearing-impaired children in a Malay-speaking context, with its relationship to
sociodemographic factors. |
