Infants do not acquire this ability until about 18 to 24 months and even then they are limited to very simple phrases. It is important how the syntax develops because the order the infant uses words depends on the primary language spoken/ taught. for instance most language structure uses nouns before the adjectives. So if a baby were to say "The horse brown happy was" that would be incorrect structure for the English language because the correct way would be "The brown horse was happy"]]> 2018-08-15 19:20:11 UTC https://padlet.com/jmeyer0323/ea5tuje4f76x/wish/273331446 jmeyer0323 https://padlet.com/jmeyer0323/ea5tuje4f76x/wish/273331484 Semantics are the meaning of words themselves in a language. As infants pick up words for everything in the world they will have to learn that some words go further and more specific. For an example a liquid is not always a drink or even milk, though it is a drink, that doesn't mean water is also milk. Infants will pick up on these more descriptive words and there meanings typically at 18 months old. ]]> 2018-08-15 19:20:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jmeyer0323/ea5tuje4f76x/wish/273331484 jmeyer0323 https://padlet.com/jmeyer0323/ea5tuje4f76x/wish/273331526 Phonology is the sounds used to produce words in a language as well as how they are used and combined. When learning to speak Spanish as an adult who's native language is English it may be difficult for them to make certain sounds for words because there is a different way of producing those sounds such as the "Rolling of the tongue" or the "Rolling the R's" it feels physically difficult because your brain has learned a certain way to speak which makes it difficult for the mind to grasp. This does not develop until 13 months of age.]]> 2018-08-15 19:20:40 UTC https://padlet.com/jmeyer0323/ea5tuje4f76x/wish/273331526 jmeyer0323 https://padlet.com/jmeyer0323/ea5tuje4f76x/wish/273331555 Morphology is essentially the bigger units (morphemes) of which words are formed by meaning. This is where we develop uses of grammar and marking tense. This further structures the infants capability to combine words in correct sentences. Infants around 18 months will begin to understand this.]]> 2018-08-15 19:20:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jmeyer0323/ea5tuje4f76x/wish/273331555 jmeyer0323 https://padlet.com/jmeyer0323/ea5tuje4f76x/wish/273331620 Pragmatics is essentially the comprehension of different contexts and rules within a language. Manners would fall under pragmatics because the infant picks up on using certain words and phrases to achieve or avoid something such as receiving praise or avoiding punishment/correction. A cultural example would be that children raised in the south are taught to say "Yes ma'am" and "No sir" when addressing an adult. This understanding doesn't come until 18 to 24 months. ]]> 2018-08-15 19:21:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jmeyer0323/ea5tuje4f76x/wish/273331620
