Introduction to Evolving (Proto)Language/s
Gestures, grunts, and words
Pointing has long been considered influential in language acquisition. Certain pre-linguistic vocal expressions may hold even greater value in addressing the transition to language. The goal of the present study is longitudinal evaluation of early communicative development, addressing the influence of pre-linguistic gestures and vocal expressions. This multiple case study report analyzes longitudinal development in five children from 9 to 16 mont…
Laryngeal vocalizations
Infant single words for dynamic events predict early verb meanings
Do children’s single words related to motion and change also encode aspects of environmental events highlighted by Talmy’s motion event analysis? If so, these meanings may predict children’s early verb meanings. Analyzing the kinds of meanings expressed in single “dynamic event words” through motion event semantics yields links between early true verbs in sentences and the semantics encoded in these single words. Dynamic event words (e.g., more, …
Successive single-word utterances and use of conversational input
In the period between sole use of single words and majority use of multiword utterances, children draw from their existing productive capability and conversational input to facilitate the eventual outcome of majority use of multiword utterances. During this period, children use word combinations that are not yet mature multiword utterances, termed ‘successive single-word utterances’ (SSWUs). The language development of five children, observed in …
Dynamic event words
Interpretation of single dynamic event words through the lens of motion-event semantics yields a picture of continuity across development. A claim of continuity from children's pre-linguistic cognition through the single-word period to first sentences might seem to imply a reliance on early ‘concepts’. In contrast, the cognitive structure of the sensorimotor period is characterized here as nonconceptual, with children dependent on language to mol…
A normative study of representational play in the transition to language
A theoretical sequence of cognitive developments is proposed as influencing representational play and language in the second year of life. Scale analysis supported an ordinal sequence of play developments for 102 children (cross-sectional sample, 8 to 24 months of age) and a comparable longittudinal sample of 10 children, despite some inconsistency of temporal placement and overlap of onset time. Structural and temporal links between play and lan…
When is a word a word
Although adult-based words co-occur in the period of transition to speech with a variety of non-word vocalizations, little attention has been given to the formidable problem of identifying these earliest words. This paper specifies explicit, maximally ‘inclusive’ identification procedures, with criteria based on both phonetic and contextual parameters. A formal system for evaluating phonetic match is suggested, as well as a set of child-derived f…
