Attachment, Interaction and Communitive Behaviour

Abstract

There is a natural tendency to divide our world into the world of people and their activities, and the inanimate, physical world. If we are to understand the nature of spoken language and its early development it is essential to look both at infant behaviour in relation to other human beings, and at the way in which children begin to make sense of the physical characteristics of their surroundings. The origins of language are embedded in these activities.
