Identify four important properties of language (Hulit, Howard, and Fahey, 2011) and discuss why they are important
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Crying: vocal communication begins with crying. The birth cry is important because it is the first indication that the vocal apparatus is intact. Cooing: cooing, though reflective, is a period when babies learn to use the sound production mechanisms. Gradually the infant develops enough control to produce sounds that more closely approximate the sounds in their environment. Babbling: Babbling occurs somewhere between six weeks and six months. This may be the time when babies practice the phonemes found in their family. Adults in the environment generally respond favorably to babbling, thus encouraging the baby to produce more sounds. The mother–child interaction is also emerging. The mother or other primary caretaker often treats the communication as if it had meaning. The baby also develops ways to engage in joint activities through mutual gazing, peek-a-boo, and pushing objects back and forth. This process helps the baby learn that communication is a social tool.
