1. How would you explain to Karen the cognitive advance that was likely occurring in Lisa as she began using Mammia, Daddio, Meemia, and Deedio, even though, initially, these were one-word utterances? 2. Do you think Lisa’s initial use of “Meemia” or “Daddio” could be considered telegraphic speech? Why or why not? 3. How might Karen have gone about investigating Lisa’s meaning for words like “Mammia” and “Deedio” before the baby began using two-word sentences?

The CASE
of ... the Deedio Mystery
Robert S. Feld...
Like most parents, Karen Muller was excited when her 10-month-
old daughter, Lisa, said her first word. She was especially
pleased that the word was "Mama." In the next three months,
Lisa added more new words: kitty, baba (bottle), Dada, hi,
cookie, and bus.
Karen waited eagerly for Lisa to begin putting words to-
gether, but the baby seemed content with her one-word utter-
ances. Then, around 15 months, Lisa added some surprising new
words: Mammia, Daddio, Meemia, and Deedio. Karen under-
stood that Mammia and Daddio referred to her and Lisa's father,
and she thought Meemia might be a reference to Lisa herself, but
the new "fancy" labels puzzled her, and Deedio was a complete
mystery. Also, Lisa did not use these new words in direct relation
to the people they named, but in a seemingly abstract manner.
For example, she said "Daddio" when her father was nowhere
in sight.
Lisa's new words remained puzzling until one day, at about
18 months, as she and Karen were getting ready to go to the park,
Lisa pointed to her own shoes and said, “Meemia." Then she
pointed to her older brother's shoes and said, "Deedio." Karen re-
alized two things instantly: Deedio was Lisa's brother David, and
the use of "ia" and "io" endings on the familiar terms for her fam-
ily and self indicated ownership.
Over the next month, Karen listened carefully to Lisa when
she used these words. Daddy was still “Dada" when he was in
sight, but Lisa began using two-word sentences, saying things like
"Daddio coat" and "Meemia baby" (for her doll). The mystery of

4. Do you think infants ever utter nonsense words, or does each
word have a concrete meaning to the baby? Explain your
response in terms of what we know about infant language
