You are right with Signed English they do teach the sentence structure. Babies can and do learn to string together simple sentences, generally no more than 3 words or so, such as "More milk please", but this would be in a child of at least 18 months of age. Even though it may take 18 months for a child to be able to string together their own sentence this is no reason not to teach them simple sentences much earlier in their development. People often think that they cant teach a baby more than a few signs at a time but you can, it's normally the adults who have to take it slowly at first as signing is probably a new concept for them so remembering to use more than a handful of signs at the start can be to much for them to handle, not the baby.

I know it's really Auslan signs, but it's the order in sentences that changes... do children that age learn sentence structure as they learn to communicate ?? What about Signed English ??
