Document Summary
At about 1 and 1/2 years, chlidren begin to combine individual words to create two-word sentences (like more juice, gimmie cookie, truck go, my truck, mommy go, daddy bike) Telegraphic speech: a style of speaking (common in 1 year olds) that include only words directly relevant to meaning (contain only the important nouns, verbs, adj, adv) Rule is agent + action and possessor + possession . When children are in the two-word stage, they use several basic rules to express meaning (ex: Daddy eats and mommy fall illustrate the rule agent + action; gimmie juice and push truck illustrate the rule action + object. Regardless of the language they learn, children"s two-word sentences follow a common set of rules that are useful to describe people and objects, their actions, and their properties. Beginning at about the second birthday, children move to 3-word and even longer sentences. 1 and 1/2 years = gimme juice bye mom .
