The adult praises the child and repeats the sound. The author also mentioned that the way a child develops linguistic symbols are through culture for example, sounds and words in order to communicate with others. According to Halliday’s he thought about semiotics the spoke of language development. Halliday saw language as being an infinite, such as variable and dynamic resource for making and sharing meaning through interaction. Noam Chomsky believed that the human infant was born pre-programmed to work out the rules of speech. He stated a person had to be rule governed if people are to be able to understand. He viewed, language as systemic-functional between infant and caregiver in the first six month of life as being crucial. Marion Whitehead declares to us that human verbal language is a systematic and symbolic means of communication. He says that Semiotics is made up of the following three strands: (1). Semantics-which is meaning of language
