Study Notes
Language Development in Children
- Crying is the first form of language in infants
- Stage 1 (0-2 months): Infants produce vowel-like sounds (e.g., "aaaaah", "ooooooh")
Co-Speech Gestures
- Stage 2 (3-6 months): Infants start babbling, adding consonants to sounds (e.g., "maaaaa", "baaaaa")
Understanding Communication
- By the end of the first year, infants develop a link between communication and sound-making signals
- This marks the onset of language development
One-Word Utterances
- Stage 3 (beginning of 2nd year): Infants start using one-word utterances (e.g., "ma", "ba", "da")
- At this stage, they have a limited vocabulary of around 5 words
Vocabulary Explosion
- Stage 4 (18 months): Infants experience a vocabulary explosion, learning words at a faster rate (20-50 words)
- They start using overgeneralizations (e.g., using "baba" to refer to all men)
Two-Word Utterances
- Stage 5 (just before end of 2nd year and beginning of 3rd year): Infants start using two-word utterances (e.g., "dad go", "mamy milk")
- They use telegraphic speech (abbreviated language) and overgeneralizations
- Their language is limited to their immediate environment
Complete Utterances
- Stage 6 (third year to beginning of 4th year): Infants start using complete utterances
- They develop conversational skills, wider here-and-now skills, and metalinguistic awareness (e.g., recognizing "bad words")
Mastery of L1
- Stage 7 (5-6 years): Children possess the basic syntactic, semantic, phonological, and phonetic systems of their first language (L1)
- They achieve adult-like fluency and mastery of L1 knowledge
- They possess more conversational skills and metalinguistic awareness
Advanced Conversational Skills
- Stage 8 (7-13 years): Children develop more complex, adult-like conversational skills
- They develop more advanced and complex grammar and knowledge of L1
