Insensitivity of the mother to these signals dulls the interaction because the child gets discouraged and sends out only the obvious signals.

Judging from the drastic experiment of Frederick Ⅱ in the thirteenth century, it may be. Hoping to discover what language a child would speak if he heard no mother tongue, he told the nurses to keep silent. All the infants died before the first year. But clearly there was more than lack of language here. What was missing was good mothering. Without good mothering, in the first year of life especially, the capacity to survive is seriously affected. Today no such severe lack exists as that ordered by Frederick. Nevertheless, some children are still backward in speaking. Most often the reason for this is that the mother is insensitive to the signals of the infant, whose brain is programmed to learn language rapidly. If these sensitive periods are neglected, the ideal time for acquiring skills passes and they might never be learned so easily again. A bird learns to sing and to fly rapidly at the right time, but the process is slow and hard once the critical stage has passed. Experts suggest that speech stages are reached in a fixed sequence and at a constant age, but there are cases where speech has started late in a child who eventually turns out to be of high IQ. At twelve weeks a baby smiles and makes vowellike sounds。 at twelve months he can speak simple words and understand simple mands。“pared with that of the monkey”是一個(gè)插入語(yǔ)，起到補(bǔ)充說(shuō)明的作用?！皊ay,”這個(gè)結(jié)構(gòu)表示舉例說(shuō)明，其后面跟隨的內(nèi)容就是一個(gè)對(duì)前面論述的具體說(shuō)明。Where 引導(dǎo)的定語(yǔ)從句修飾前面的短句“interaction between the mother and the child”，而最后一個(gè)逗號(hào)后面的內(nèi)容是對(duì)這個(gè)定語(yǔ)從句內(nèi)容的補(bǔ)充說(shuō)明。他希望能夠發(fā)現(xiàn)孩子在沒(méi)有聽(tīng)到任何母語(yǔ)的時(shí)候會(huì)說(shuō)什么，因此他囑咐護(hù)士們都保持沉默。然而很顯然除了缺少語(yǔ)言之外還有更多的原因，那就是缺少良好的母親撫養(yǎng)。 現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)不存在弗雷德雷克規(guī)定的那種嚴(yán)格的情境。發(fā)生這種情況大部分都是應(yīng)為孩子的母親不夠敏感、不會(huì)像嬰兒發(fā)送各種語(yǔ)言信號(hào)，而這個(gè)時(shí)候的人類(lèi)大腦能夠很快地學(xué)習(xí)語(yǔ)言。鳥(niǎo)兒在合適的時(shí)期才能夠?qū)W會(huì)4time, but the process is slow and hard once the critical stage has passed. Experts suggest that speech stages are reached in a fixed sequence and at a constant age, but there are cases where speech has started late in a child who eventually turns out to be of high IQ. At twelve weeks a baby smiles and makes vowellike sounds。 at eighteen months he has a vocabulary of three to fifty words. At three he knows about l,000 words which he can put into sentences, and at four his language differs from that of his parents in style rather than grammar.
