A emoção no processo de aquisição de linguagem de um bebê

Abstract

The objective of this work is to identify, from the collection of Youtube videos, crying patterns in the early stages of development in very early childhood via emotion. Regarding human development and language acquisition, we will take as a basis Tomasello (2003), who argues that human knowledge is not just a genetic (ontogenic) fruit that has been propagated over time, but that it also carries in its essence, cultural marks and social events (phylogeny) for its development. Already, Vygotsky (2000 [1934]) emphasized the role of language and the social historical process in the development of the individual. According to the Russian researcher, the acquisition of knowledge takes place through the interaction of the subject with the environment. For him, the subject is active and interactive, because it is in the exchange with other subjects that knowledge and social functions are assimilated. Clark (2009) believes that the use of language is an integral part of everyday life in which we convey desires and needs, thoughts, concerns and plans. Finally, for Damásio (2009), the process of emotion and feeling then spreads to other parts of the brain and the body itself, developing the emotional state. Using language feels as natural as breathing or walking. But babies are not born talking. They learn the language, starting immediately at birth. Ekman (2011) was able to detect, in his studies in the 60s, that there are 6 basic emotions. More than 20 years later, other expressions were added. Ekman (2011) was also able to detect more than 10,000 facial microregions in emotional contexts. For the accomplishment of this work, we are carrying out a longitudinal study. This study is important to study individual transitions, the cumulative effects of life cycle transitions, in addition to being able to follow and study cultural differences and changes. This is a research method that aims to analyze variations in the characteristics of the same sample elements (individuals) over a given period.
