Two Major Stages of Infant Language Development
- Preintentional (Birth to 8 mos.): Infants cannot formulate a communicative plan
- Intentional (8 to 18 mos)
Bates: 3 Stages of Infant Language Development
- Perlocutionary (preintentional; 0-8 mos.)
- Illocutionary (intentional; 8-12 mos.)
No words
3.Locutionary (the linguistic period; first word stage and after; 12 mos and beyond!)
Words
Oller: 4 Stages of Early Vocalization
- 1-2 mos.: Phonation Stage
- Quasi-vowels
- Produced with normal phonation
- Produced with a vocal tract at rest; no posturing
- 2-3 mos.: Primitive Articulation
- Phonation plus articulation (articulators comes together, but not intentionally)
- Soft palate might come into contact with pharynx when laying down: coo and goo
- Phonation plus articulation (articulators comes together, but not intentionally)
- 4-8 mos.: Expansion Stage
- Squeals, raspberries
- Marginal babbling (no rapid transition from vowel to consonant)
- No real concise babbling- Listening to auditory feedback; not intentional
- By 10 months: Canonical babbling
- Reduplicated
- Conical
- Some say there is no connection to later language development
- Reduplicated
Canonical
Well-formed syllables
At least one fully vowel-like element
At least one fully consonant-like element
A rapid transition between vowel and consonant
Reduplicated [mamamama]
Variegated [mapatipo]
*If not done by 10 months old, there is a problem
Hanen’s Stages of Language Development
The Discoverer: Birth – 8 mos. The Communicator: 8 – 13 mos. First Words User: 12 – 18 mos. The Combiner: 18 – 24 mos. Early Sentence User: 2-3 yrs. Later Sentence User: 3-5 yrs.
The Preintentional Stage (0-8 mos.) also known as
what Bates, Hanen and Oller’s stages?
Bates – Perlocutionary Hanen – Discoverer Stage Oller - 1-2 mos.: Phonation Stage 2-3 mos.: Primitive Articulation 4-8 mos.: Expansion Stage
Preintentional Communications
- Cry Behavior
- Stimulates laryngeal and oral functions (strengthens)
- Prompts caregivers to provide basic needs (biological needs met)
- Infants learn natural contingencies – if I do something, then that causes something to happen - Smiles
- Reflexive (first few weeks of life)
- Social (quickly becomes shaped) - Gaze Patterns (1st emerging pragmatic)
- turn-taking with gaze
3 Types of Gaze Patterns
- Mutual gaze: prolonged eye contact (“eye lock”) – from birth – around 8” away or face
- Gaze coupling: partners alternately look at the other, turn-taking; looking at, then look away
- Deictic gaze: Infants fix eye gaze on some object of interest; foundation for joint-attention (adult can reinforce by fixing their gaze on object as well, ex. Mobile)
Emerging Pragmatic Behaviors - Preintentional
- Eye gaze
- Turn-taking (vocalization)
- Joint Attention / Joint referencing
a. Responding to joint attention (RJA)
b. Initiating joint attention (IJA)
RJA has been observed in infants as early as 6 mos. (Mundy et al., 2007) – responds to toy
IJA is later developing, but should be in place by 12-14 mos.
If not doing these by 12 months = autism
-Encourage development by following an infant’s deictic gaze: co-orientation
-Label, co-orient
-Imitate sounds and guestures
INTENTIONAL PHASE (8-18 months) aka Bates and Hanen's what stages?
-Bates Illocutionary (8 mos – 12 mos)
Intentional without words
-Bates Locutionary (12 mos. & beyond!)
With words
-Hanen’s Communicator & First Word User Stages
Children develop intentionality to:
- Request
- Protest
- Comment (showing)
Prelinguistic (illocutionary - Bates) communicative behaviors: Intentionally communicate without words
- Gestures
- Distal - pointing/ want up/hi/bye/blowing kisses – no touching or contact with a person or object
- Contact gestures - when the baby has contact with object or person - Establishment of joint reference
- Vocalizations
Emergence of the First Word
Some infants develop Protowords - Phonetically consistent forms (PCFs)
- “Units” with distinguishable utterance boundaries (a beginning and an end)
- Reoccurring utterances
- Reliably associated with recurring situations
- No resemblance to the adult form (ex. gega)
Real Words
emerge around 12 months
A stable, consistent production that is phonetically similar to the adult-word form in a particular language used by the child in a particular context. Real words:
-have a vowel sound close to the adult production
-are followed by a brief period of silence
-are used under recurring conditions
-are used in conversations
Bates: Locutionary
Hanen: First word user
First words determined by what 4 determinants (semantic development):
- Environment (ex. Mom and Dad, dog)
- Word types:
- Nouns (usually first) & verbs; concrete (here and now) comes before abstract
- Social (e.g., “bye-bye”)
- Occurrence (“allgone” “more” “again”)
- Adjectives (“Pretty baby!”) - Sounds in words; babies have “sound preferences”
- Function – how useful is the word to the baby? (No!)
