Document Summary
Language development may seem simple but it is a complex process made up of form, content, and use. Language is made up of skills described in terms of form, content, and use.

Later on, they are able to learn language with no need of context. Give meaning to a combination of sounds that exist in their environment. At first, language learning experience on the context and environment where they grow. Later on they can talk about things that they have not seen. Phonology: the study of speech sounds, includes rules required for combining speech sounds to form syllables and words. Includes rules that we need to know about how to combine sounds to form words.
