This course covers the following main topics:
- to specify the maturational factors in the acquisition of oral language;
- to form a picture of the successive stages in the progression of children's language (including the prelinguistic stages);
- to identify the formal characteristics of language at the different stages in its development;
- to enhance this description through an analysis of the variables which determine the development and working of the structures being observed (role of those in close contact with the child, modulated language, language and cognition, language and communication).
