 Linguistics article reaction My article was about when kids are able to understand and tell jokes. I found it interesting because I have a few little cousins that are around the age of 1 and 2 and they only understand physical humor right now. the Article talks about how at around age 1 and 2  babies can understand physical comedy and try to copy the people they see to make them laugh. an example of physical comedy would be slap stick comedy or peek a boo. and that as they get older around the age of 2 and 3 they start to understand verbal comedy and make jokes. The article talks about how it is important for younger people to learn and use humor because it can build confidence. and your communication skills. jokes can also help children understand words with double meanings. overall comedy is a good way to learn any language. in conclusion I think this article was a good read.
