dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this study was to investigate the phonological impact of the Hindi language cartoons on the speech of Urdu/English bilingual children between 5 to 10 years. The data was collected from 84 male and female participants located in Lahore. They were shown 28 images covering most common sounds (e.g. ‘پھ' /pʰ/, ‘خ' /x/, ‘غ' /ɣ/ and ‘ز' /z/ in the cartoons such as: Doraemon, Motu Patlu and Abdul Bari. The participants' responses were recorded and transcribed along with English translation. Chi-square Pearson was applied to investigate the relationship between age and the use of linguistics variants. The study shows that there is significant difference between age and the use of linguistic variants. The participants who were between 5 to 6 years of age were relatively more receptive to Hindi variants. However, those who were between 7 to 10 years of age had a clear tendency for regressing towards the Urdu language. The study thus reveals that the younger the participants, the more evident is the phonological impact of the Hindi language on their speech. The study suggests an exposure to cartoons in the Urdu language at early age may be helpful to improve culturally loaded vocabulary of children.en_US
