Document Summary
Last aspect to develop but continues as we grow older. One year olds can put two words together and convey large ideas. Telegraphic speech: when children are in productive language development they are constrained by being able to produce one word utterances. Then can combine two words into sentences. E. g. mommy come sit next to me. Children are good at picking selective words to form sentences. Overregularization: related to morphological combining words plus parts (past tense and plurals) Exceptions to plurals like mouse mice. Children over use the regular rule of plural and say tooths or mouses instead of teeth and mice. Recasts & expansions as help from others: Recast: saying the incorrect sentence and correcting it. Research shows that children who are not corrected get to the same correct state. Positive effect of getting the child to elaborate speech. Child was constrained so it is helpful for parent to ask what did we see .
