Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Babbling is a stage in child language acquisition, during which an infant appears to be experimenting with uttering articulate sounds, but does not yet produce any recognizable words. Babbling usually begins at around 4 to 6 months of age. Meisha's repetition of "ma ma ma ma" is a classic example of babbling, where she is playing with sounds but not forming actual words with meaning.
