Talking with feeling: Integrating affective and linguistic expression in early language development. Bloom, Lois; Beckwith, Richard. Cognition and Emotion3.4(Dec 1989): 313-342.

Examined the developmental relation between affect and speech in the period of early language learning (aged 8 or 9 mo through 30 mo). Two achievements in language were identified for 12 infants: First Words, at the beginning of the single-word period (mean age about 13 mo), and a Vocabulary Spurt that occurred toward the end of the period (mean age about 19 mo). Ss' words occurred closely in time with their expression of emotionally toned affect. Ss may have been learning words to express what their feelings were about even though none of the actual words they said were emotion terms.
