Child first words

A child's first words are mainly names of objects or actions. This being words that their parents would of taught them or they would have experienced at home with their family whilst completing their daily routine. For example 'bubbles' being learned during bath time, and 'cup' 'spoon' and 'bowl' for meal times, as well as 'book' for story time before bed. By looking at different children's first words it shows the development of the basic words like 'hi' to 'hiya' which is less formal and copied from their family members. All the words learned can be seen or felt. They are known as content words rather than function words. Content words are like nouns and adjectives and open word classes. Children make up their own words like 'wassat' showing their development in trying to ask questions with only using the needed phonemes.
