Language Development (4)
Pre-Linguistic Stage:
• Cooing (0-4 months): Infants produce cooing sounds, which are soft vowel-like
sounds.
• Babbling (4-10 months): Infants start to produce repetitive consonant-vowel
combinations, such as "ba-ba" or "da-da."
• First Words (10-12 months): Infants begin to produce single words that have
meaning, such as "mama" or "dada."
Adult-Like Language Stage:
• Holophrastic Stage (12-18 months): Toddlers use single words to represent
whole sentences or ideas.
• Two-Word Stage (18-24 months): Children start combining two words to form
simple sentences, such as "more milk."
• Telegraphic Stage (24-30 months): Children produce multi-word sentences that
resemble telegrams, often leaving out less critical words, such as "want cookie."
• Complex Sentences (30+ months): Children begin to use more complex
sentences with proper syntax and grammar, gradually resembling adult-like
language.
