Attaching meaning to words: fast-mapping quickly acquiring . Common errors in word use: overextension overgeneralization, underextension using word for small range of objects. Strategies for inferring word meanings: use of social and contextual cues, processing constraints. Syntactical clues to word meaning: syntactical bootstrapping learning meaning from sentence structure. The telegraphic period: from holophrases to simple sentences. Telegraphic speech 18 to 24 months: simple sentences, containing noly critical words (no grammatical markers, more common in languages where word order is more important than grammatical markers, semantic intent (meaning) requires words and contexts. The pragmatics of early speech: 2 year olds good at vocal turn-taking, prefer to talk about unshared information, monitor responses to clarify meaning, understanding needs to be polite.
