    Dr. Petitto argues that deaf babies can develop language without speech by learning sign language through repeating hand movements and forming simple hand signs, just as hearing babies develop speech through babbling. She concludes that language can be expressed in many ways and does not necessarily have to be spoken. Additionally, babies with one deaf and one hearing parent can develop both spoken and signed language simultaneously.

    Summary of text 3: Language- Is It Always Spoken?

    Dr. Petitto believes that deaf babies can develop their language without learning
    through speech. Normal babies learn language by hearing and babbling to develop
    speech system while deaf babies develop their sign language through repeating same
    hand movements, forming simple hand signs to develop sign system. Thus, Dr. Petitto
    concludes language can be expressed in many ways; unnecessarily have to be spoken
    language. Besides, babies with one hearing parent and one deaf parent can develop
    bath spoken and signed language simultaneously.
