Monday, March 05, 2012 ainuq 2 Comments

This summary focuses on her language development as a part of her milestones reported in the middle of her 17 month age. There was a simple review had ever been written on her 7 month age here, when she started to babble, as well as what had regularly been told on her milestone posts monthly. Though they were plainly sort of general overview. What I mean, the reviews are not scrutinizing the details. This writing then attempts to look at more details of the language produced. It covers words, dialogues, and her sentences production.

Before looking at her languange development in detail, this general chart taken from Wikipedia might help to perceive how far the children develop their language . The stage in bold i.e. 18-24 months is the development my daughter in.

6 months	Cooing, changes to distinct babbling by introduction of consonants
1 year	Beginning of language understanding; one-word utterances
12–18 months	Single word use; repertoire of 30-50 words (simple nouns, adjectives, and action words), which cannot as yet be joined in phrases but are used one at a time does not use functors (the, and, can, be) necessary for syntax, but makes good progress in understanding

Note:

Foto diatas adalah meja kerja Ummi di sekolah. Jadi catatan perkembangan kata-kata Hanuun sesekali Ummi tulis dibuku, eh, di kumpul-kumpul ternyata banyak juga. Nulisnya iseng pas lagi ga ngajar atau lagi ga ada kerjaan, sambil ngoreksi dan ngemil seperti difoto, hari itu ngemil duku;)

Yaaa, alhamdulillah Hanuun tumbuh dengan begitu baik, kemampuan motoriknya, intelejensinya, interaksi sosialnya juga perkembangan bahasanya. Sejauh ini Hanuun memang dikenal sebagai anak yang bawel, suka ngobrol dan ikut-ikut kalau orang disekitarnya bicara. YUP, she imitates every single word she listens to....

Hmm, then one of my friends said "Ih rajin banget siy, mo bikin penelitian ya teh?", hehehe...belum sejauh itu sih, but a little courage mah ada. Teringat salah satu dosenku yang pernah meneliti soal Language Acquisition i.e Mr. Patuan Raja, as you can read his research here.
