Lallwort
As Lallwörter sound sequences are called, which are easy to articulate for toddlers.
Lall words can be spontaneous formations, i.e. words that are formed constantly and spontaneously in different situations, but also habitualized, i.e. regularly used in the vocabulary of family language or even lexicalized words such as ätsch or pee . The use of lall words is also widespread in traditional songs (folk songs, hits), e.g. B. yeah , tralala or Waddehaddeduddeda . They can occur across languages, but can also be shaped by language-specific articulation habits.
Lallworts are often onomatopoeic ( onomatopoeia ), e.g. B. ham ham as an imitation of the snapping or swallowing sound when eating or Wauwau for dog . They are often unconsciously taught to children by adults who instinctively speak very simply and onomatopoeic to small children, e.g. B: do Bubu , Aa must etc.
