Deb Roy said that adults unconsciously converge towards the child's language.
People often talk to babies as if they can understand them
Face to face communication is vital for children, using sight almost as much as sound when communicating
18 months - about 50 words, mostly context dependent ( thank you, nouns, politeness strategies)
People often use onomatopoeia with children
Nursery rhymes give children their first experience of talking for an extended amount of time - teaches them complex syntax
Possessive language by 3
Aware of external influences by 5 and often going on tangents (side sequences)
