Some Basic Principles of Child Language Acquisition
• Children generally acquire language sequentially• Simple Complex
• Cooing• Babbling• One Word• Two Word / ‘Telegraphic’ speech• Complex utterances
• Don’t necessarily hit all stages at the same age• But e.g. questions won’t come before babbling, for example

Stage Age Description Framework
Cooing < 2 mo
2 – 4 mo
4 – 6 mo
Vegetative noises
Comfort noises – vowels, nasals, velars
Vocal play – pitch, loudness, friction noises, nasal murmurs, glottal stops and fricatives
Can gaze at correct object and recognise correct phonological inventory (discriminate between talk / non-talk)
Phonetics
Phonology?
Semantics?
Babbling 6 – 8 mo Canonical – reduplication of C/V/CV
Variegated – recombination of different CV patterns
Usually velars and stops.Fricatives and affricates / clusters – less common
*** simplified ‘caretaker’ speech
Phonetics
Phonology

Stage Age Description Framework
One-Word[one morpheme]
9 – 18 mo Open-class lexical items, esp. nouns, some verbs
-Uninflected- Non-derivational roots
-Often naming: ‘Dada’ when doorbell heard, ‘cat’ when seeing the cat walk by.
Underextension / overextension:
‘Bottle’ – one type of bottle‘Dog’ – all animals‘Kick’ – kicking, flapping wings etc.‘Apple’ – all spherical objects
BUT: can understand which one is the apple, etc., if not produce it
Mid-level hyponymy

Stage Age Description Framework
Two-Word 18 - 24 mo Open-class, lexical items; no function or grammatical words / morphemes
Simple phrases: two words with semantic relations
‘Cat black’N + Adj. (NP)
‘Big car’Adj. + N (NP)
‘Fall down’V + P (phrasal verb)
Simple sentences: two words with grammatical relations
‘Mummy go’
S [N] + V
Initially uninflected, though inflection comes later

• Matthew (2 yrs) watches his mum spoon stewed rhubarb from a saucepan into a bowl.
• Matthew Dis rubile looks like biscetti.
• /d/ for /t/• CVL for CVC• CV for CCV• lexical mis-targeting (biscuit spaghetti)• inflectional morphology• syntactic structure• semantic awareness (comparison of qualities)

• Adult What do you want to be when you grow up?• Child A dowboy.• Adult So you want to be a dowboy, eh?• Child (irritated) No! Not a dowboy, a dowboy
• Increased complexity of ‘caretaker speech’ (full syntax)• Comprehension of question / production of answer• Perception of wrong target phoneme /d/ /k/• Misperception of production of wrong target phoneme

• Kate (3 yrs 1 mth) is sitting at the table.
• Kate Can I have a bit of cheese, please? - "Cheese, please?" - that's a rhyme.
• awareness and critical reflection on language• phonological awareness• full syntactic structure• ‘Can’ … ‘please’ – pragmatic intent
