Abstract
Very young babies show very refined language skills being able to perceive many features in adult speech. The perception of the mother tongue is essential to language acquisition. This literature review deals with speech perception skills from children under one year of age. Therefore a literature search was performed in 7 databases, in English, French, Portuguese and Spanish, in the period of 2003-2014. With this bibliographic research was possible to recognize how language acquisition occurs quickly, and that very young infants are able to use elaborate strategies to initiate such acquisition.

Resumo
Bebês muito jovens demonstram habilidades linguísticas bastante refinadas, sendo capazes de perceber várias características na fala do adulto. A percepção da língua materna é, pois, imprescindível para a aquisição da linguagem. Esta revisão de literatura trata das habilidades de percepção de fala dos bebês a partir do nascimento até um ano de idade. Para tanto, foi realizada a busca bibliográfica em 7 bases de dados, nos idiomas inglês, francês, português e espanhol, no período de 2007 a 2014. Com esse levantamento bibliográfico foi possível reconhecer como a aquisição da linguagem ocorre de forma rápida e que bebês bem jovens são capazes de utilizar estratégias elaboradas para iniciar tal aquisição.
