The English language is full of pairs of words that have subtle distinctions between them. The word insipid evokes a scholarly and perhaps more pretentious message than boring. For example, the words boring and insipid may have similar meanings, but the subtle differences between the two will affect the message your writing conveys. The slight but important differences in meaning between synonyms can make a big difference in your writing. However, it is important to remember that not all pairs of words in the English language are so easily interchangeable. You can say Hong Kong is a “large city” or a “metropolis” because city and metropolis are synonyms. You can say an “easy task” or a “simple task” because easy and simple are synonyms. are words that have the same, or almost the same, meaning as another word. Results support the phonological model, with phonological skills on the pathway to word reading.Synonyms Words that have the same, or almost the same, meaning as another word. Despite policy intervention, many of the same risk factors identified in previous studies still predict children's word-reading ability in the United Kingdom. For each of these predictors, there was evidence suggesting that a substantial proportion of the effect may be mediated by phonological skills (ranging from 52 to 89%). We found that male gender, preterm birth, naming vocabulary at age five, concerns about speech and language, maternal education, type of housing tenure, lone parenting, parent attachment and frequency of reading to the child were all independently associated with word reading. Path analysis models were fitted to examine phonological skills as a mediator of the relationships.
Linear regression models were fitted to identify factors that were associated with word-reading score at the age of 7 years. Analyses were based on 13,680 participants. We examine the strength of these associations in a recent U.K.
population-based studies have found associations amongst early speech and language difficulties, socioeconomic disadvantage and children's word-reading ability later on.
