Abstract

We here described on the ability of children before their old five years old. They have a special power in learning their life to able to do something. Of course, they have a difficult thing regarding how to communicate each other. To make a communication, an action should be done, therefore, the cognition is a very important thing that must be sharpened. As it is discussed, linguistics is a study can be entered to all subcategory aspects. The linguistics has significant value on its contribution based on the effort of the children to obtain the communication action. Many phenomena can be described in the present study. The result showed all normal children can do communication with their mother in a unique way.
