Study Notes

Language Acquisition in Infancy

In the first few months, infants engage in cooing, a precursor to language development.

Language Development Milestones

At 4 months, babies start making sounds like "K" and "g".

Babbling Stage (6-11 months)

Between 6-8 months, babies start babbling with simple syllable combinations, such as "ba-ba-ba" and "ga-ga-ga".
From 10-11 months, babies' babbling becomes more complex, with combinations like "ma-da" and "ga-ba".

The One Word Stage

This stage occurs in the late babbling period, where children can produce single words for objects.
It is characterized by more complex syllable combinations, sound play, and attempted imitations.
