Language Errors

• Children make pronunciation errors because they are not yet able to produce complex sounds, which leads to simplified words such as “keekee” for kitty or “vesketti” for spaghetti. (Shortcut to make a word)

• Underextension occurs when a child uses a word too narrowly, such as using “doggie” only for the family pet.

• Overextension occurs when a child uses a word too broadly, such as calling all animals “doggies.”

• These errors show how children are actively learning and organizing categories in their mind.

Infant-Directed Speech

• This type of speech helps infants focus on sounds and improves their ability to distinguish phonemes.

• Infants pay more attention to this style of speech, which increases interaction and supports language learning.

• This shows how social interaction and environmental input play a key role in language development.
