      • Personal/ Social
        • Hi, Bye-Bye, All-gone
      • Yes/No are determiners, used in most situations
    • Children can utter closed mouth sounds such as 'm' before letters such as 'f' as the sound requires teeth
      • They can utter 'b' as it is visual so can be copied easily, before 'k' as it requires the tongue on the roof of the mouth (invisible)
    • Phonological development
      • Deletion: child says 'ext' instead of 'next'
        • Simply leaves out the sound if they find a phoneme hard to utter
      • Substitution: 'dis' instead of 'this' substitutes a hard with an easy sound
      • Addition of a spurious vowel: blue    -> belue, simplifies the enunciation by reusing a phoneme
      • Contamination/reduplication: coat -> toat
    • Semantic errors
      • Overextension : meaning covers a much wider classification
        • Categorical: refers to all things of the same type e.g. pussycat = 4 legged furry animals
        • Analogical (1 similarity): things which share similarity, e.g. cat when referring to soft scarf
        • Statement: one word sentences, not labelling but making a statement e.g. dada = pick me up and hi
      • Underextention: limiting or narrowing of a words meaning to something more specific than it actually is
    • Grammatical development overview
      • ONE WORD/ HOLO-PHRASTIC STAGE
        • average age - 12m, 12-18 for single word utterances e.g. "milk!" may be more than one word as the child may of grouped words to a single unit -> communication highly context dependent
      • TWO WORD /PIVOTAL GRAMMAR STAGE
        • 18m - two word sentences e.g. SUBJ+VERB="Jenny sleep"
        • when a child tries to repeat what an adult has said they may omit words e.g. "Look at the dog playing in the garden" becomes "Play garden"
      • TELE-GPRAHIC STAGE
        • 2y: produce 3-4 word utterances may be grammatically incomplete e.g. omission of determiners (the) aux verbs (is) conjunctions (and)
          • progress is now rapid by the age of 5 acquired most standard grammar
