If you (or your partner) were to have a baby tomorrow, you would anticipate with great spirit the progression in that child's language skills. If we were to then fast forward one year into the future, you would look back on the way those language skills had developed. In this essay, note the major linguistic milestones that you would expect to see in the first year of a typical child's life
What will be an ideal response?
First you would expect communication attempts to center around crying, which is a child's rudimentary way of expressing him- or herself. At about two months of age, single-vowel cooing will show up, followed by repetitive, single syllabus utterances called babbling. Babbling should first appear at around six months of age. Babbling will become more speech-like between 8 and 11 months of age, and between 10 and 14 months of age the first true word will be spoken. Some instructors may use the standard that normal age expectation for the first spoken word is one year of age.
