2.1.1 Stages of Language Development

• In the telegraphic stage, children use two-word phrases, omitting unnecessary words.

  True
• Match the stage of language development with its key features:

  Pre-linguistic ↔️ Babbling and cooing sounds

  Holophrastic ↔️ Single-word utterances

  Telegraphic ↔️ Two-word phrases
• Order the stages of language development by their chronological progression:

  1️⃣ Pre-linguistic (0-12 months)

  2️⃣ Holophrastic (12+ months)

  3️⃣ Telegraphic (12+ months)

  4️⃣ Complex sentence formation (12+ months)
• Match the stage with its key feature in the phonological development process:

  Pre-linguistic ↔️ Babbling and cooing sounds

  Holophrastic ↔️ Single-word utterances

  Telegraphic ↔️ Two-word phrases
• Infants in the telegraphic stage omit unnecessary words in their two-word phrases.


  True
• The telegraphic stage involves two-word phrases with omitted words.

  True

• What marks the beginning of true language use in language acquisition?

  Linguistic stage
• In the pre-linguistic stage, infants understand simple commands but cannot produce words.
• In the holophrastic stage, infants use single-word utterances to convey complete thoughts.
• In the holophrastic stage, infants use single-word utterances
• During the pre-linguistic stage, infants produce babbling and cooing sounds
• In the pre-linguistic stage, infants understand simple commands
• In the holophrastic stage, infants use single-word utterances
• Arrange the grammatical development stages in the correct order:

  1️⃣ Holophrastic

  2️⃣ Telegraphic

  3️⃣ Complex Sentence Formation
• Exposure to language through conversations provides the input necessary for children to learn vocabulary
• What type of vocalizations do infants produce in the pre-linguistic stage?

  Babbling and cooing
• The holophrastic stage marks the beginning of intentional language production with single-word expressions
• Complex sentence formation involves the use of multiple clauses and an expanded vocabulary.

  True
• Complex sentence formation in grammatical development includes multiple clauses and an expanded vocabulary.

  True
• Match the language development stage with its age range:

  Pre-linguistic ↔️ 0-12 months

  Linguistic ↔️ 12+ months

  Reinforces and shapes language
• During the pre-linguistic stage, infants produce babbling and cooing sounds.


  True
• The Interactionist theory emphasizes the role of social interaction
• Order the stages of language development according to age range:

  1️⃣ Pre-linguistic (0-12 months)

  2️⃣ Holophrastic (12-18 months)

  3️⃣ Telegraphic (18-30 months)

  4️⃣ Complex sentence formation (30+ months)
