Dunstan Baby Language

Dunstan Baby Language is a claim about infantile vocal reflexes as signals, in humans. The claim is that across cultures and linguistic groups there are five sounds, each with a meaning, that are used by infants before the language acquisition period. The hypothesis was developed by Australian former mezzo-soprano, Priscilla Dunstan, and has been featured on The Oprah Winfrey Show. Dunstan's claims have not been scientifically validated.

Famous quotes containing the words baby and/or language:

    Time rushes by and yet time is frozen. Funny how we get so exact about time at the end of life and at its beginning. She died at 6:08 or 3:46, we say, or the baby was born at 4:02. But in between we slosh through huge swatches of time—weeks, months, years, decades even.
    Helen Prejean (b. 1940)

    the language obscene

    An engine, an engine
    Chuffing me off like a Jew.
    Sylvia Plath (1932–1963)
