Child directed speech: the language that adults use for children so that they can understand the sentences are shorter and easier, speech is slower. Linguistic scaffolding: expansion: development of the utterance into a longer, more meaningful form ie/ (cid:758)b(cid:734)(cid:739)(cid:759) (cid:728)(cid:738) (cid:724)(cid:743)(cid:735)(cid:720)(cid:733)(cid:723)(cid:724)(cid:723) (cid:728)(cid:733)(cid:739)(cid:734) (cid:758)i (cid:742)(cid:720)(cid:733)(cid:739) (cid:732)(cid:744) (cid:721)(cid:734)(cid:739)(cid:739)(cid:731)(cid:724)(cid:759, recasting: commenting, extending and rephrasing of the utterance. Phonology: slower, clear pronunciation, more pauses, higher pitch, exaggerated intonation. Lexis: simpler, restricted vocabulary, diminutive forms e. g. doggie, concrete lexis referring to objects in immediate surrounding. Grammar: simpler constructions, frequent use of imperatives, lots of repetition, frequent questions, use of personal names instead of pronouns.
