I just went to look at a "Dolce words" list, 'cause it was being mentioned on another thread that has nothing to do with me. And I noticed something...

Ok, so most kids' first words are things like "mama" "dada" and stuff for wanting milk, right? I'd noticed before that DS started with what appeared to be "That" and a generalized noun "Dah," as well as "hi."

Looking at the Dolce word list, the words he uses regularly are overwhelmingly from the "12 most commonly used" and "20 most commonly used" list.

Anyone run into anything like this, and/or comments on interpretation?

Maybe all kids do this and people just don't re-enforce "is" as much as they do "dada?"


DS1: Hon, you already finished your homework
DS2: Quit it with the protesting already!
