Document Summary
Phonology: study of phonemes - basic units of sounds. Pragmatics: practical aspects / how to use. Metalinguistic language: knowledge of language + properties. Nonverbal signals: signals give meaning to spoken words (gestures, facial expressions) Perceptual narrowing: tell phonemes better until 7m at 10-12m can"t hear. High pitch endings excites & low pitch ending soothes. Like to hear people with the same prosody as them. Pay attention to intonation, stressed more = start of the word. Assume certain sounds appear together = words (5m recognize name) If deaf babies born to signing parents, babble in sign language. Make meaningful gestures + understand words 10m. 1st words usually objects can manipulate, moving objects or familiar people. Hear word 1 & learn, only in joint attention. Single word to label multiple different things. Fails to extend word to other objects in the same category. Overextended new grammatical morphemes to irregular cases. Arrangement of words/phrases to create well-formed sentences.
