The one-word speaker: 5-8 months of age, kid responds to parents" words, talking begins at 10-20 months, early vocabulary is very simple. Number one word: no: likely to contain objects that infant can manipulate. Ball is more likely than ceiling: difficult to tell what kids mean when they use single words. We don"t really know if they mean the same thing as the word does. The two-word speaker in life: telegraphic speech, start around 2 years old, vocabulary several hundred words, speech shows proper organization. Nobody taught them this order, they picked it up themselves: by 2. 5 years child moves beyond 2 words, and sentences become more complex, start searching for rules of generalization, the 4-5 year old makes mistakes in tense.
