Question 1: Language Development [25]
1.1 List then define the pre-linguistic and the adult-like language stages in language
development. [4]
Pre-linguistic Stage:
1. Cooing (0-3 months): Babies produce vowel-like sounds (e.g., "oo," "aa"), primarily for
expressing comfort or pleasure.
2. Babbling (4-6 months): Repetitive consonant-vowel combinations (e.g., "bababa,"
"dadada"), which gradually start resembling speech patterns.
3. Jargon (10-12 months): Variegated babbling that includes intonation patterns
resembling adult speech, but still lacks meaningful words.
4. Gestural Communication: Use of gestures, such as pointing and waving, to
communicate desires and needs before they can use words.
