Pre-Linguistic Stages:
1. Cooing Stage (0-3 months):
o Definition: This stage is characterized by the production of cooing and
gurgling sounds. Infants start to produce vowel-like sounds and
experiment with different pitches and volumes.
2. Babbling Stage (4-6 months):
o Definition: During this stage, infants begin to produce consonant-vowel
combinations like "ba," "da," and "ma." Babbling is repetitive and serves
as a foundation for later speech development.
Adult-Like Language Stages:
1. Holophrastic Stage (12-18 months):
o Definition: Children use single words (holophrases) to express whole
sentences or complex ideas, such as "milk" to mean "I want milk."
2. Telegraphic Speech Stage (18-24 months):
o Definition: This stage involves the use of two or three-word combinations
that resemble telegrams, such as "want cookie" or "go park." Children
begin to use basic grammar rules and expand their vocabulary.
