The following video was shown to me in one of my special education classes. I thought it was adorable, but it also made me think. Isn't so interesting how we develop langue? This is the first stage of speech; our gibberish baby talk develops into what we now use to communicate and read. This video also made me wonder why we never kept our baby langue. Watching these two we can see they understand each other. Do all babies have a secret talk that adults don't know about? What are they saying behind our backs? Maybe this gibberish is more effective for everyone to understand. It is said that different langue’s were created because of the tower of babble. If you don’t know the story here is the basic story line; at one time in history everyone spoke the same langue but humans got to cocky and tired to build a tower to the heavens, god was upset by this so god made everyone speak different langues so the tower could not be finished. What if that original langue was baby babble?
I thought this video was very interesting. I never consider these things, but it is really interesting. I also think your in depth explaination is very helpful.
ReplyDeletemost people don't know about that story, so I thought it would be an interesting subject.
ReplyDeleteI saw this video in my one my previous education class. This video is very interesting and funny
ReplyDeleteThis is a very interesting concept. I've heard of the Tower of Babel, but never considered the original language being baby talk. I saw a show once that newborns have their own language too. They have 5 "words" or sounds they make for things like hungry, hurt, and wet. I can't remember the other two. If these sounds are not recognized by the parents, the baby will stop making these sounds after so many months. I've also heard about twins having their own languages. Twins (especially identical twins) have such a unique and special bond that they communicate in ways no other people understand and can even develop their own made up language and sounds. Just some interesting things I'd thought I'd share and that you might appreciate.
