correct answer to each of the questions from 11 to 20. 
Most of us know a little about how babies learn to talk. From the time infants are born, they hear 
language because their parents talk to them all the time. Between the ages of seven and ten months, most 
infants begin to make sounds. They repeat the same sounds over and over again. This is called babbling. 
When babies babble, they are practicing their language. 
What happens, though, to children who cannot hear? How do deaf children learn to communicate? 
Recently, doctors have learned that deaf babies babble with their hands. Laura Ann Petitto, a psychologist, 
observed...s start first with simple syllable babbling, then put more syllables together to sound like real 
sentences and questions. Apparently, deaf babies follow this same pattern, too. First, they repeat simple hand-
shapes. Next, they form some simple hand signs and use these movements together to resemble ASL 
sentences. 
Linguists believe that our ability for language is innate. In other words, humans are born with the capacity 
for language: It does not matter if we are physically able to speak or not. Language can be expressed in 
different ways - for instance, by speech or by sign. Dr. Petitto believes this theory and wants to prove it. She 
plans to study hearing children who have one deaf parent and one hearing parent. She wants to see what 
happens when babies have the opportunity to learn both sign language and speech. Does the human brain 
prefer speech? Some of these studies of hearing babies who have one deaf parent and one hearing parent show 
that the babies babble equally with their hands and their voices. They also produce their first words, both 
spoken and signed, at about the same time. More studies in the future may prove that the sign system of the 
deaf is the physical equivalent of speech.
