Babies from London are the rudest and the least likely to say “thank you” and “sorry” among their first words, a new study has revealed. Language researchers carried out studies on some 2,000 families across the country to know the first words babies are likely to learn.
They found that babies in London and Wales are the least likely to say “thank you”, while babies in East Anglia, the West Midlands and Northern Ireland are most likely to have it in their early vocabulary. Again with the word “sorry”, it is babies in London that are bottom of the rankings with youngsters in Scotland and the southwest more likely to use it.
The findings are going to be shown in the BBC Two programme Babies: Their Wonderful World, which is scheduled to be shown on Monday evening. Speaking on the programme, Michelle Peter, from Liverpool University, said that the first words children tend to produce are the useful words. She said, “Sixty-three per cent of babies were able to say ‘thank you’. Most of them knew the word ‘sorry’ from pretty early on, which they will use in society when communicating with others.”
Some 2,500 babies, and their curious parents, were invited for BBC2’s Babies: Their Wonderful World, a four-part series that carries out scientific experiments used around the world to tell baby development.
“By studying them with all the technology now available, we also had some special experience.” Remember that old TV saying of never working with children or animals? She admits it does get hairy. “Once I was doing a piece to camera, a baby vomited (呕吐) all over me.”
