Objectives: This study aimed to examine the morphological awareness of school-age children in relation to the level of vocabulary development.
Methods: The subjects of the study were 14 children in the at risk group of vocabulary development delay in the 3rd grade of elementary school, and 14 children who matched these children in chronological age and vocabulary level. A total of 42 children participated in the study. This studu used the task of morphological awareness developed based on the previous research, considering the type of words (cmpound and derivative) and transparency.
Results: The results of the study are as follows: First, the total score of morphological awareness was significantly different between the three groups. There was no difference between the at-risk group and the children’s group who were matched at the vocabulary level, but there was a significant difference between the groups with different vocabulary levels. Second, all three groups had low ability to perform tasks on derivatives. There was no significant difference between the vocabulary level matching group and the children in the vocabulary development delay group in the compound language task, but there was a significant difference in the derivative tasks. Third, there was a significant difference between the groups according to the transparency. The difference between the age-matched group and the other two groups was significant and the difference between the at-risk group and the vocabulary level match group was not significant.
Conclusion: This result was suggested that the relationship with morphological awareness in early vocabulary evaluation and intervention should be considered.
