  • Child Spoken Language Acquisition - Stages
    • Pre-verbal
      • Lexis
        • Cooing and babbling, no words are formed at this point
      • Semantics
        • None
      • Grammar
        • None
      • Phonology
        • Children practice making sounds (cooing and babbling)
      • Pragmatics
        • None
      • Discourse structure
        • None as no grammar has been learnt
    • Holophrastic
      • Phonology
        • Children practice pronunciation of words and practice putting phonemes together
          • Fricatives- partially blocked airflow (f)
          • Plosives- blocked airflow (p, b)
          • Affricatives-Plosives and Fricatives together  (church)
          • Approximants- similar to vowels (r, j)
          • Nasals- airflow moves through nose (m, n)
          • Laterals- place tongue on ridge of teeth and air moves down side of mouth (L)
      • Grammar
        • None
      • Discourse structure
        • None as no complete utterances
      • Pragmatics
        • None
      • Lexis
        • Children can say just one word in an utterance ando use proto-words
      • Semantics
        • Children can understand some simple  concepts and understand the meaning of some words
    • Telegraphic
      • Lexis
        • Children use three words in utterances but
      • Grammar
        • Not developed enough to allow the child to use complete utterances
      • Semantics
        • Children can start to develop more concepts and ability to understand words
      • Pragmantics
        • Children still can't develop a complex understanding of words
      • Phonolgy
        • Becomes more developed as children practice use of phonemes
      • Discourse structure
        • Concept of grammar is not yet learnt so children can't use discourse
    • Post-telegraphic
      • Lexis
        • Children can begin to use complete utterances and start to develop adult language
      • Semantics
        • Child has developed ability to use words to refer to situations and begins to understand more abstract concepts
      • Phonology
        • Ability child has for making sounds improves and practice of pronunciation of phonemes improves
      • Discourse structure
        • Child can begin to understand discourse structures which has helps them to use complete utterances
      • Pragmatics
        • Ability to use pragmatics develops and more complex ideas can be formed
      • Grammar
        • Child can begin to use grammar to use tenses and uses compete utterances
    • Two-word
      • Lexis
        • Children can use two words in an utterance, but not always with relevance to each other
      • Semantics
        • Children continue to learn basic concepts and can link objects and things to their names
      • Grammar
        • Even though words can used together grammar isn't formed
      • Discourse structure
        • None
      • Phonology
        • Children practice pronunciation of words by using phonemes and developing lexis
      • Pragmatics
        • None as complex concepts can't be understood
