Baby Talk

Synopsis: Starting from the radical reappraisal of linguistics brought about by the work of Noam Chomsky in the 1950s, this film examines our curent knowledge of how babies learn to communicate, looking at the development of language from before birth to age four and showing how researchers monitor foetal response to sound, map crying patterns, and analyse cooing and babbling as early developments of language.

As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
