Language development

- babies hear sounds before born - earliest vocalizations: involuntary crying- interaction must not be with technical devices - by the end of year 1: first words + good understanding- by the age of 2: production of at least 50 words + simple sentences

1 First Language Confrontation

REMARKABLE:

high degree of similarity in the early language of children all over the world

1 First Language Confrontation

- babies hear sounds before born - earliest vocalizations: involuntary crying (hungry or uncomfortable)- only little control over sounds, still able to hear differences in human language - interaction must not be with technical devices - by the ned of year 1: first words + good understanding- by the age of 2: production of at least 50 words + simple sentences

- predictable patterns occure when developing features of a language - features --> developmental stages- e.g. with morphemes - "wug-test": learning a language by generalizing patterns

also called: developmental stages

2 Developmental Sequences

developmental sequences can be seen in the use of negation and questions

3 Negation And Questions

- negation -

3 Negation And Questions

stage 1

better grammatical use + no perfection

stage 4

more varieties (can't), but problems with persons and tenses

stage 3

utterances grow longer + "don't" for expressing rejection or prohibition

stage 2

negation usually expressed by "no"

- questions -

- also developmental stages- predictable order in which "wh-" question words emerge - What --> Where, Who --> Why (favourite)--> How, When
