چکیده
Ferguson, C. (1971) first introduces the idea of “foreigner talk” (FT) and examines the grammatical simplicity in FT by indicating the absence of the copula in “grammatical machinery for equational clauses” (for instance, in the case of the Japanese language). Evidences of simplified speech in FT is similar to ‘retarded talk’. And, because it can also be directed at children, it is also referred to as "baby talk".
