We’ll learn... #1 THE DEVELOPMENT OF SPEECH
PRODUCTION

#2 THE DEVELOPMENT OF SPEECH

COMPREHENSION

#3 THE RELATIONSHIP OF SPEECH PRODUCTION,

SPEECH COMPREHENSION, AND THOUGHT
#1 The development of
speech production
As an outline, the development of speech
production is as following;
Vocalization to Babbling
Babbling to speech
Early speech stages; naming,
holophrastic, telegraphic, morphemic
Later speech stages: rule formation for
negatives and other complex structures.
Vocalization to Babbling
1. Producing Different Types of Sounds (such as Crying,
Rumbling, etc.)
2. During vocalization, infants use syllable reduplication
or "shackles" (baba, momo, etc.)
3. The Interesting Thing about Deaf Babies is that They
Do the Same Thing (Shackling) with Sign Language as
Normal Babies Do
 Babbling to speech

This stage (i.e., their speech production) has two characteristics;

1. It appears normally at the age of 1, may be some latter or sooner.
2. They just use only some of the sounds that they used in their
The continuity and discontinuity issue in
Babbling stage, and the other ones must be reacquired. (A big passing the babbling phase into the
controversy over the continuity and the discontinuity of sounds speech stage;
which are happening in speech stage from babbling).
Babbling is non‐intentional.
The second case
 Early speech stages:

TELEGRAPHIC SPEECH: MORPHEME

NAMING: ONE-WORD HOLOPHRASTIC: ONE-
TWO/THREE-WORD ACQUISITION
UTTERANCES WORD UTTERANCES
UTTERANCES
Latter speech stages; rule formation for
negatives and other complex structures
The more advanced stage of speech is the stage in language
development where children begin to form rules for more
complex sentence structures, including negative sentences
and other structures.
This includes understanding and using words like ‘‘no‘‘ or
‘‘not‘‘ to express negatives in sentences.
#2 The development of speech
comprehensionon

1. Fetus and speech input

2. Speech comprehension in the case of mute‐hearing children
3. The developing of the speech comprehension before speech production
in normal children
4. Speech production has its based on speech comprehension
#3 The relationship of speech
production, speech
comprehension, and thought

Speech comprehension necessarily precedes

speech production
Thought as the basis of speech comprehension
