Child Language Development
Language is a
multipurpose instrument used to communicate in an unbelievable number of
different things. The foundation for learning language begins before birth by
the baby listening and recognizing its mother’s heartbeat and voice in the womb. At
age of zero, or right after born, a baby cries, the baby does that to show that
the baby begins to develop communication skills by crying to express their
wants and needs to their caregivers. There are pain or discomfort cries, anger
cries, and hunger cries to define how the baby feels. Babies begin to learn
language skills pretty quickly by listening and interacting with their
caregivers (mother, father, other relatives, and babysitters). After reaching
age of five months, baby will begin their language journey by using their
tongue, lips, palate, and, teeth to make sounds. At about six to nine months
the child is starting to make new language with their babbling (baa, blaa, boo
and just like that) with active vocalization. A baby begins to be aware of the
language being used in their environments. Adult and child interaction at this
stage is important for effective child language development. After eight months
of age most infants will continue to babble, but they will also be able to
shout to attract attention. A child begins to repeat and intimate caregivers
and strangers around them. At about nine to twelve months old the child
advances to the second stage of language development called Holophase stage (one-word stage). Babies
begin to use one or more words with meaning. Common first words for a child are
verbs and nouns, usually people, objects, and what they want in their
surroundings. Some common words are papa, mama, etc. At the very end, up to
about 6 months of age, babies can recognize all the sounds that make up all the
languages in the world. It is suggested that the materialization of language is
the result of imitation and reinforcement. In brief, language development is
linked to cognitive development that, in turn, depends on the development of
the brain, on physical and perceptual abilities, and on experiences. Talking is
important for children, because complexity of what children say influences the
complexity of other people’s response.
