The Development Of Sound All The Way To Language

26th August 2009 by Babies No Comments


The voices that infants utter are called baby talk, twaddling or babbling. These sounds are attempts of the babies to learn how to acquire the language. They are not in a position to as yet utter words that can be recognized. In the first year the larynx descends which allows the pharynx to develop for the sounds that will soon become words. Baby talk begins when the infant is 5 to 7 months old. They begin by making noise. It is only when the baby is one year old that recognizable words are produced. Syllables begin to be repeated. This is called reduplicative babbling. The variegated babbling is when a mix of syllables is used by the baby to babble. It is when the babies are calm that they babble more rather than when they are excited or upset. Babies prepare themselves by babbling for uttering the basic sounds that they will require for speaking the language. Babbling is natural to humans and this is clear when even the deaf babies babble.

Gurgling and cooing begins at birth up to 4 months. Babbling starts when the baby is 4 to 6 months old. Babbling is enjoyed by the baby up to 12 months or so. Between 12-18 months babbling turns to being meaningful when the toddlers begins to imitate sounds and words. The toddlers begin to repeat words at the age of 18 to 24 months. That is when babbling takes on to becoming meaningful words. They are able to use about 50 words. But they understand many more. They then begin to form short sentences. They may use familiar words incorrectly. The baby begins with crying and begins to coo moving on to vocal play. This is followed by canonical babbling and then on to conversational babbling.

Sign language is also used by babies as a means for effective communication. Babies can be taught sign language to assist them to avoid being frustrated when they are not able to find the right sound to express themselves. Priscilla Dunstan proclaimed that babies everywhere is found to use a set of five words and that each have a specific meaning. She released  The Dunstan Baby Language DVD in 2006 which sets out to teach the method to recognize these sounds.

Babbling of babies, when responded to with babbling by adults is beneficial to the development of babies. Integrating this with some normal adult speech will assist the baby in the development of vocabulary. It assists in the cognitive development of the baby. Eventually the baby will achieve the ability to normally speak the local language no mater what.
