    Phonetic(语音) information—thesmallest sound elements of speech - is considered by researchers to be the basis of language. Babies are thought to learn these small sound elements and add them together to make words. But a new study suggests that phonetic information is learnt too late and slowly for this to be the case. Instead, rhythmic (有韵律的) speech helps babies learn language and is effective even in the first few months of life.

    Researchers from the Trinity College Dublin investigated babies' ability to process phonetic information during their first year. Their study, published in the journal Nature Communications. found that phonetic information wasn't successfully encoded (编码)until seven months old, and did not occur very often at 11 months old when babies began to say their first words. From then individual speech sounds are still added in very slowly—too slowly to form the basis of language.

    The researchers recorded patterns of brain activity in 50 babies at four, seven, and eleven months old as they watched a video of a primary school teacher singing 18 nursery rhymes(童谣) to a baby. They found thatphonetic encoding in babies appeared inchmeal over the first year of life, beginning with lab ial sounds (e. g.“d”for“daddy”) and nasal sounds(e. g.“m”for“mummy”), with the “read out”progressively looking more like thatof adults.

    “The reason why we use nursery rhymes isbecause that is the best way for babies to discover and connect sounds with language, so we are teaching them how to speak,”said Giovanni Di Liberto, lead
