Language development and child-directed speech.

From birth until age five, infants quickly develop telegraphic speech. The developmental stages of language skills are universal. The age and rate at which a child passes each spoken language milestone varies considerably. Thus, a child’s spoken language skills development must be compared to norms, not other children. Girls can acquire language more rapidly than boys.

Language development is a fundamental indication of brain growth and maturity. After age five, speech skills acquisition becomes more difficult for the majority of children and it indicates the language disorders among infants. Typically, receptive language development (the capacity to perceive speech) advances more rapidly than expressive vocabulary development (the ability to communicate).

There are two known principles of spoken language development. In referential language development, children begin learning language skills by speaking single words before combining them into two-word mini – sentences and, subsequently, three-word phrases. In the early stages of expressive vocabulary development, children produce extended, incomprehensible babbles that imitate the cadence and rhythm of adult speech. The majority of children employ a mixture of these techniques and easily achieve phrasing outcomes.
