AB  - In many texts, Rousseau speaks out against the “verbosity” of educators and the “flow of nonsense” that is emitted by talkative children. Following Montaigne, Rousseau warns against “babbling education,” due to the distance that babbling creates between the word and the object. He also provides a moral argument (by encouraging children to talk excessively, one fosters in them excessive pride) and a phonetic argument (by babbling, children pronounce words unintelligibly).
