Document Summary

Ling 3p61 week 5: learning the sounds of language- producing sounds. Intonation patterns: different, excited, other sounds crept in. On a continuum- overlap, don"t progress linearly through the stages. Recorded babbling of french, arabic and cantonese babies. Japanese and french words contain more nasal sounds than swedish and english: babbling of japanese and french babies also contained more nasal sounds, at 6 months- sounds are subtly influenced by language. In general, babbling of babies from different language is very similar but. Babbling drif: at 6 months sounds babies produce are somewhat influenced by language heard (some sounds similar to their language) Continuity view: speech develops out of babbling phonological patterns in babbling linked to patterns in early speech. Manner: how airstream is affected: bilabial, alveolar, palatal, glottal, stop, fricative, affricate, glide, liquid. Canonical babbling: vowels and velar sounds, front consonants, less velars because sitting up, locke: 11/24 consonants 90% of consonant sounds production.
