  5. 18. Babble, grunts, and words : a study of phonetic shape and functional use in the beginnings of language

    Author : Liselotte Roug-Hellichius; Florien J. Koopmansvan Beinum; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Phonetics; Fonetik; Phonetics; fonetik;

    Abstract : The present study follows in the tradition of those seeking to understand linguistic behavior from a cognitive and socio-biological perspective (Bates, Benigni, Bretherton, Camaioni and Volterra 1979, Lindblom 1992, Hauser 1996) by tracing the development of a non-linguistic vocal behavior in relation to communicative and early lexical advances. More specifically the study focuses on the occurrence of what are termed ìcommunicative gruntsî and their functional relationship to adult based word use in one Swedish boy from 11 to 19 months of age.
