Relação da oralidade dos pais no desenvolvimento da linguagem oral das crianças pré-escolares

Abstract

Motherese, parentese, babytalk, or child-directed speech is a peculiar mode of communication between caregiver and child, which consists of a space where affective relationships are created, in order to give meaning to this relationship. Numerous studies refer to the relationship between motherese and language acquisition and delay. In the present research, knowledge regarding motherese, its implications for the development of children's oral language, as well as how caregivers' views on their orality relate to the orality of these children, is gathered through a literature review. This is qualitative research, operationalized through semi-structured interviews applied to four caregivers and the narration of stories .to four children, constituting the study sample, with data interpreted through content analysis. It can thus be concluded that motherese can interfere with the child's language development if the child is exposed only to these linguistic stimuli, excluding other social environments.
