This module aims:
to provide an overview of phonetic and phonological development, with an emphasis on the first two years of life
to acquaint you with the findings of both observational and experimental studies of infant speech perception and production and of the transition from babbling to speech
to compare lexical and phonological development in late talkers with that of typically developing children
to consider the main theoretical approaches to phonological development.
By the end of the course the student should have a good understanding of the relationship of babbling to early word learning and of the course of phonological development through about age two.
Students should be able to identify patterning in the early words of children learning any language with which they are familiar.
