CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -From the above points, we can conclude that the term for describing the linguistic input to the language learning child is known as child-directed speech.

Detailed explanation-2: -Child-directed speech is the way a person’s linguistic characteristics alter when speaking to an infant or toddler. This style of speech tends to be slower, with exaggerated intonations, a higher pitch range and longer pauses than regular speech.

Detailed explanation-3: -Child-directed communication (CDC): All communication specifically directed at children, in which the properties and structure of the signal often change in predictable ways, e.g., higher pitch, more exaggerated gestures, and more repetition. CDC supports language learning in children [2, 9].

Detailed explanation-4: -For example, a parent is more likely to respond to “there doggie” with “Yes, it’s a dog!” than “No, it’s there is a dog.” Brown spoke to a child who referred to a “fis” meaning “fish”. Brown replied using “fis” and the child corrected him again but saying “fis”.

Detailed explanation-5: -It involves research into the different stages in language acquisition, language retention, and language loss in both first and second languages, in addition to the area of bilingualism. Before infants can speak, the neural circuits in their brains are constantly being influenced by exposure to language.
