Document Summary

Language development and emotion & motivation part iii. Layers of language: phonetics, sounds, phonology, how sounds are combined, e. g. Fernald 1985: head-turn preference, when baby looked on way, light would blink and certain sound would play. When baby looked another way, light would blink and different sound would play: would show what babies prefer in sound, babies prefer to listen to infant directed speech. Progressive learning: language general language specific, use words to find words. Gleitman & newport 1995: language is innate, language is learned, language learning proceeds uniformly across remarkably differing input, children make generalizations not available in the data. Altering the learning environment: mom"s speech isn"t necessarily helpful, deaf isolates: initial stages same, but not full-fledged, blind children: generally same trajectory. More radical alterations: for language deprived children:: age of learning onset matters, children learning from l2 speakers normalize the input.
