Language learning begins with listening. Individual children vary greatly with the amount of listening they do before they start speaking,【M1】______ and late starters are often long listeners.

Before they can speak, much【M2】______ children will also ask questions by gesture and by making question noises【M3】______ Any attempt to trace the development from the noises babies make to their first spoken words leads to considerate difficulties. It is【M4】______ agreed that they enjoy making noises, and during the first few months【M5】______ one or two noises sort themselves out as particularly indicative of delight, distress, sociability, and so on.

It is agreed, too, that from【M6】______ about three months they play with sounds by enjoyment.【M7】______ It is a problem we need not get our teeth into it The meaning【M8】______ of a word depends on what a particular person means by it in a particular situation; and it is clear that what a child means by a word will change as he gains less experience of the world.
