The title is a known phenomenon from psycho-linguistics. It is a very beautiful concept--it is a particular style in which mother speaks to her infant. She speaks slow, a word or a letter at a time and infant gradually learns the language...she (infant) first starts 'thinking' and converts signals from brain into words & finally starts speaking or may be making more meaningful sounds! It does not matter whether a particular child has any natural challenges of verbal expression,; in her mind she still learns the language....Most of us have picked up our mother-tongues, native languages this way!
My blog is in a way an attempt to express my thoughts in such a way that I express only what I feel I must... mainly to myself....and occasionally to everyone ...but always a thought at a time.....-hence MOTHERESE!
uu...mm..mm..aa..aa..
ReplyDeleteit also works along with touch, eye contact, sounds and unsaid emotions that flow between mother and child.i think language is formed of all this!

looking forward to more blogging ruhaan..best luck.
ok-so far as your attempt to express only the 'must'is concerned,it's fine and in sync with the analogy.but i am smelling something else as well-
ReplyDeletewhat did you say?
'a particular style in which mother speaks to infant.'
needs no deliberation-really!:-)
Junu...very true! Motherese is actually one of the things along with all that you mentioned which contribute to language development. Motherese is in fact a 'form' or 'style' ...or roughly just a way of speaking!
