Seneca Langauge Acquisition
Pre Lingual Stage
Stage 3: Vocal Play (5-8 months)
Child begins to experiment with different sounds and pitches
No meaning is behind these noises
Stage 4: Babbling (6-12 months)
Consonants begin to get linked to vowels but there is still no meaning
Two types of babbling
Variegated = when the sound is different (eg. dabama)
Reduplication = when the sound is repeated (eg. mamama)
Phonemic expansion = A child will try and make as many new sounds as they can
Phonemic Contraction = At 9-10 months the child narrows their range to those in their native language
Stage 2: Cooing and Laughing (2-5 months)
Begin to control vocal cords
Sounds are meaningless 'coo' , 'ga'
Tongue control
Stage 5: Melodic Utterances (9-18 months)
A child lets out utterances containing rhythm
Tone is developes
Stage 1: Biological Noises (0-2 months)
Involves a lot of crying
Child gains control of their air stream
A universal experience (so is not really a language)
Stage 6: Protowords (around 1yr)
Utterances which resemble words
These words would not make sense outside the context of primary caregivers
