Alison Gopnik Quotes

Initially Children Use Just A Few Names, Mostly For Familiar Things And People. But When They Are Still Just Beginning To Talk, Many Babies Will Suddenly Start Naming Everything And Asking For The Names Of Everything They See. In Fact, What'sat? Is Itself Often One Of The Earliest Words. An Eighteen-month-old Baby Will Go Into A Triumphant Frenzy Of Pointing And Naming: "What'sat! Dog! What'sat! Clock! What'sat Juice, Spoon, Orange, High Chair, Clock! Clock! Clock!" Often This Is The Point At Which Even Fondly Attentive Parents Lose Track Of How Many New Words The Baby Has Learned. It's As If The Baby Discovers That Everything Has A Name, And This Discovery Triggers A Kind Of Naming Explosion.
