Get a hint
Hint

1) PRE VERBAL STAGE

- 0-12 months

- experimenting with noises and sounds

- open mouthed vowel sounds 'oo, aa, uh' and babbling (Consonant Vowel Combinations) 'gaga'

2) HOLOPHRASTIC STAGE

- 12-18 months

- individual words

3) TWO WORD STAGE

- 18-24 months

- put two words together

4) TELEGRAPHIC STAGE

- 24-36 months

- three words +

- may still be omission of grammatical words

5) POST TELEGRAPHIC STAGE

- 36 months+

- both content and grammatical words

Get a hint
Hint

1) PRE VERBAL STAGE

- open mouthed vowel sounds 'oo, aa, uh'

- babbling (Consonant Vowel Combinations) 'gaga'

- two types of babbling: reduplicated (same sound 'baba') and variegated (variation 'manamoo')

2) HOLOPHRASTIC STAGE

- one word 'mama'

- large proportion of communication is non-verbal- pointing

- largely nouns- things they can see

3) TWO WORD STAGE

- two words to convey meaning 'mummy sit'

- content words

- begin to recognise syntactic relationships

4) TELEGRAPHIC STAGE

- key content words, omits grammatical words 'me going on trip'

5) POST TELEGRAPHIC STAGE

- grammatical and content words

- nuances of language

- Mean Length of Utterance grows

- confidence with inflectual functions (word endings varying etc)

- occasional virtuous erros

What does Patricia Kuhl say about babies?

- at birth, babies are 'citizens of the world': can distinguish sounds of all world languages

- after 12 months, they become 'culture bound listeners': only distinguish sounds of their own language

What does Patricia Kuhl say about language development?

- critical period for language learning is 0-7 months

- babies 'take statistics' as they listen to sounds of language

- TV exposure of language is less effective- children under 2 learn nothing from TV

- the 'social brain' (interaction) controls when they take statistics

What is the 'wild boy of aveyron' case study and how does it relate to some theorists?

- a feral child found at 12

- a doctor worked with him for 5 yrs and found he was unable to comprehend or produce new words, unable to verbally communicate

- links to Chomskys 'critical period' view

- links to nurtures view that interaction and an MKO is required

What did Deb Roy say?

'the birth of a word'

- children learn from the environment but also the environment learns from them

- he found that the length of adult utterances reduced when a child learnt a new word. But then length of utterances increased again as the adult integrated the word into more complex utterances to help the child learn

- these are 'feedback loops'
