Study Notes
Stages of Language Development in Children
- Crying is an indication of language ability and is the first form of language.
Stage 1: 0-2 months
- Infants start cooing, producing vowel-like sounds (mainly a, o sounds).
Stage 2: 3-6 months
- Infants start babbling, adding consonants to sounds (mainly a, o, e vowels and b, m, d, t consonants).
End of First Year
- Infants develop a link between communication and sound-making signals, marking the onset of language.
Stage 3: Beginning of 2nd year
- One-word utterances emerge (e.g., Ma, ba, da, bab bab bab).
- Infants develop a vocabulary of about 5 words.
Stage 4: 18 months
- Vocabulary explosion/spurt: learning words at a faster rate (20-50 words).
- Overgeneralizations occur (e.g., baba for all men, mama for all women).
Stage 5: Just before end of 2nd year and beginning of 3rd year
- Two-word utterances emerge (e.g., dad go, mamy milk, go sleep).
- Telegraphic speech (abbreviated language) is used.
- Overgeneralizations continue (e.g., mama halawa, sakr bab).
- Limited inflections and use of here-and-now environment are observed.
Stage 6: Third year to beginning of 4th year
- Complete utterances are used.
- Some conversational skills develop.
- Wider here-and-now skills are observed.
- Metalinguistic awareness emerges (e.g., bad words).
- More vocabulary items are learned.
Stage 7: 5-6 years
- The child possesses basic syntactic, semantic, phonological, and phonetic systems of L1.
- Adult-like fluency and good mastery of L1 knowledge are achieved.
- Conversational skills similar to those of adults are developed.
- Deeper and wider metalinguistic awareness is observed.
Stage 8: 7-13 years
- Development of more complex, adult-like conversational skills occurs.
- More advanced and complex grammar and knowledge of L1 are developed.
