1). Explore what patterns are in children’s early pronunciation ‘errors’.
2). How do we know what children know more words than they can actually produce: that comprehension develops more quickly than the ability to reproduce language?
3). Explain the importance of intonation in the child’s language phonological development?
In the early stages of language development, children’s phonological stage is when they’ve often made ‘errors’ in their language, but this will differ depending on the child. Babies at the age of 18-24 months go into their two-word combinations and later at 24-40 months enter their telegraphic by which they will have up to 6-word combinations of vowel and consonant words. Although this maybe the case; children already know how to speak. At the babbling stage, babies are around 6-12 months old and will start to make repeated-consonant vowel sounds. Babbling is the process of where a CVCV structure is formed through vowel & consonant functions that come with it. The first one is the babbling reduplication where there is a repetition of CVCV structure & the variegated babbling where babies make a different combinations of CVCV structure like ‘daga’ opposed to the ‘gaga’ of the reduplication.
