Developmental language disorders: Late talking in infancy

Humans are born with an innate capacity for intersubjective communication which has a biological basis and regulates cultural learning and thinking. Intersubjectivity reflects the way in which an individual understands and relates to others and is reflected, among other things, through the expression of emotions and the use of symbols. Language development is related to intersubjectivity and children's ability to imitate and learn through the inter-coordination of attention. However, some infants show language delay and are classified as late talkers. There are early signs which reveal early language delay and are associated with intersubjectivity. Furthermore, they may be signs of early diagnosis of a developmental disorder.
