Pre-birth development
|

|
Biological sounds - Pre Verbal Stage
|
0-6 weeks
Crying is the first main vocal expression a baby makes. It makes the caregiver aware that the baby needs something, this isn't a conscious act - its more of an instinctive response |
|
|
Cooing Stage
|
6 weeks to 6 months
Babies start to make a small range of sounds, getting used to moving their lips and tongue. This starts with vowels which start being linked into extended vowel combinations. They then start to use velar consonants such as k and g. These sounds are just experiments and don't carry any meaning. |
|
|
Babbling Stage
|
6-10 months
Two types of babbling - Reduplicated Babbling (ma-ma-ma) and Variegated babbling (da-di-da-di). There is a suggestion that babbling is innate because deaf babies also mimic babbling actions with their hands. During this stage, phonemic expansion occurs where the number of phonemes they produce increases and later, phonemic contraction - where they reduce the amount of phonemes they use. They delete the ones they don't hear. |
|
|
Holophrastic Stage
|
10-18 months
When a child starts to utter single words that express a complete idea - (holophrase) Caregivers often need contextual clues and the child's non-verbal communication to interpret these holophrases |
|
|
Two Word Stage
|
18-24 months
At around 18 months children start using two words in conjunction. When they do this, they automatically begin to create grammatical relationships between words - the start of syntax |
|
|
Telegraphic Stage
|
24-36 months
Using three of four word combinations. Children still focus on the words that carry the most meaning, omitting function words such as prepositions/auxiliary verbs/ determiners. |
|
|
Post-Telegraphic Stage
|
36 months +
Starting to use features such prepositions, negatives, auxiliaries and determiners. |
