Hello!
This time I will show you some First Language Acquisition in process hahaha.
I will show you a video of my nephew, Tango. He is 8 months old and is at the Babbling stage of FLA according to the following list:
As we have already studied, in almost all cases children go through the same stages of language development. This is a predictable process and the only difference between one child and the other is the age at which they reach/finish each stage.
As I said before, Tango is 8 months old and he has started babbling!!!
He is soo sweeetttt!!!!
Enjoy!
Babbling
Repeated sequences are often produced, such as [bababa] or [nanana], as well as "variegated" sequences in which the characteristics of the consonant-like articulations are varied. The variegated sequences are initially rare and become more common later on.
Both vocal play and babbling are produced more often in interactions with caregivers, but infants will also produce them when they are alone.
No other animal does anything like babbling. It has often been hypothesized that vocal play and babbling have the function of "practicing" speech-like gestures, helping the infant to gain control of the motor systems involved, and to learn the acoustical consequences of different gestures.
