Document Summary

5-8 months of age, respond to parents" words: talking begins 10 to 20 months: early simple vocabulary: nouns, interactions, adjectives. Likely to contain objects that infant can manipulate ( ball more likely than ceiling ) picking up almost on their own. Difficult to tell what kids mean they use single words tend to undergeneralize. Two-word speaker: telegraphic speech, starts around 2 years old, vocabulary around several hundred words speech shows proper organization (which is strange, they do it naturally, showing the syntax: throw ball not ball throw syntax is something inate) By 2. 5 years, a child moves beyond 2 words and sentences becomes more complex. The 4-5-year-old makes mistakes in tenses for example runned not ran child now overgeneralizes rules formal schooling takes over. Basics only, no real syntax, no propositional thought, seems unlikely given data on wild and isolated children. Due to nature: wild children no; isolate children: maybe, no models: maybe; other animals no.
