theseimitationsbeconsideredasspeech?

答案：大家都認同孩子學習語言是從聽開始的。不過，各個孩子在

開始講話前聽的多少卻大不相同，說話遲的孩子聽的時間往往長。大多

數(shù)孩子在說話前的一段時間都會‘服從'口頭指令。許多孩子在會講話

前還會用某種體勢及鬧聲來提問。人們也同意孩子喜歡發(fā)出鬧聲這一說

法，而且認為在最初幾個月，一兩聲吵鬧是快樂、痛苦、友善等的表

示。但是因為三聲吵鬧聲還不能說是孩子想交流，所以還很難被看作是

孩子語言的雛形。人們還贊同，三個月左右的孩子以發(fā)出各種聲音為樂,

到六個月的時候，他們就能在發(fā)聲時添加新的發(fā)音。這種自我模仿洛會

發(fā)展為有意識地模仿他人的發(fā)音和話語。這些模仿能不能被看作是說話

呢？
