8-16 months
Vocabulary / semanticsVocabulary – Emergence of expressive language
1. 6 months and older - canonical babbling: reduplicated and non-reduplicated babblinga) Reduplicated: 6 monthsb) Non-reduplicated: 12-13 months
2. 10 months and older - jargon stagea) Consists of first words that may be produced after
a string of jargonb) Stage is characterized by strings of sounds and
syllables uttered with variety of stress and intonation patterns
3. 12 months - two to six words other than mama and dada (first word period)a) Phonological acquisition includes /b/, /m/, /d/, /n/b) First produce sounds as whole items instead of
individual soundsc) Begin to use pronouns such as I and it
4. 15 months - ten words
11
8-16 months
Vocabulary / semanticsSemantics
1. Three categories of types of single words children from birth-age 2 use to represent what they have learned about the environment (single-word utterance stage)a) Substantive words: to name objectsb) Relational words: describe the relationships or characteristics of objects including movements or
relationships of an object to itself (disappears)c) Social words: hi/bye-foundation for maintaining relationships according to the culture’s social code
2. Relationship between phonological and semantic developmenta) Learn new words that begin with the same consonants they have previously usedb) Show more phonetic accuracy in saying object words than action words
3. In Stage 1 of Brown’s Stages of Language Development between 12 and 26 months

2. Requests items by pointing (protodeclarative)3. Gives items to adults4. Able to follow eye directions of adults to locate
objects (provides basis for pairing words with objects)
5. 8-9 months first words spoken
12 months enters locutionary period
1. Able to use joint attention to locate objects outside immediate visual field
2. Begin to use words to replace or accompany gestures to request, demand and comment

16-24 months
PhonologyFirst word
1. Used consistently to refer to the same thing2. Have a recognizable phonetic form - sound like the adult word
(e.g. Bah-bah for bottle)
Control over their lips, tongue, and mouth1. Able to drink through a straw2. While drinking can swallow 4-5 times without removing the cup3. Drinks from a cup without spilling much4. Swallows with mouth closed5. Able to chew a variety of foods6. Up and down tongue motion becomes more precise
As a result of better mouth control, they begin to produce the following consonant phonemes: /p/, /m/, /h/, /w/, /b/
NOTE: Different children prefer different phonemes, phonemes are acquired in a variety of orders, and some may not
develop until later.

16-24 months
SemanticsObject Permanence – awareness that objects still exist even if they cannot be seen
1. This means that they have developed internal representations of their environment, and mental images, or symbols of objects and events in their environments.
2. It is believed that this ability to use symbols is linked to children’s understanding of words as verbal symbols for objects and events.
Types of words used1. Substantive Words - name objects or attributes
a) Categories of objects with similar attributes (semantic feature theory)b) Specific objectsc) Fewer attribute words are used (e.g. Colors, and sizes)
2. Relational Words - relationships between objects, or characteristics among objectsa) Actions and movements of objectsb) Relationships of an object to itself
NOTE: One word may have various meanings, e.g. no can indicate rejection, denial and disappearance.

SemanticsRelation Explanation
Existence An object is present in a child’s immediate environment and the child is attending to it. Examples: this, that, there
Non-existence/disappearance An object is expected to be present but is not. An action is expected to occur but does not. An object has been present but disappears. Examples: all gone, no, bye-bye
Recurrence An object reappears. Another object like the child is attending to is placed with the first one. An event happens again. Examples: more, another
Rejection The child does not want an object or an event to occur.Example: no
Denial The child rejects the truthfulness of a previous utterance.Example: no
Attribution The child mentions a characteristic of an object or event, usually not shape or color in this stage. Examples: big, little
Possession The child identifies ownership of an object.Examples: mine, my
Action The child identifies or requests an action.Examples: go, open
Locative action The child refers to a change in an object’s location. Examples: here, there, in, up

16-24 months
PragmaticsNew functions develop – functions combine and change because children learn that one utterance can serve multiple functions
1. Instrumental + Regulatory + Interactional Functions = Pragmatic Functiona) Used to control the environment to satisfy wants and needs while interacting with othersb) Some response is expected from the listener
2. Personal + Heuristic + Interactional Functions = Mathetic Functiona) Used to learn more about or comment on the environment (ie. asking object names)b) Does not always expect a response from the listener
3. Dialogue becomes more effectivea) Turn taking rules are applied in Dialogueb) Children help maintain the topic of conversationc) 40% of children’s responses to adults maintain the topic of conversation

PragmaticsChildren’s Functions and Intentions of Their Early Language
Halliday’s Functions(9 to 16/18 months of age)
Dore’s Intentions(approximately 12 to 18/24 months)
Function Description Intention
Labeling
Description
To name objects; no response expected
Instrumental To receive material needs, desired objects, or assistance from others
Answering To respond to adult’s request
Regulatory To control the behavior of others
Requesting action To get adult to do something
Interactional To make interactional contact with others in their environment by initiating and/or sustaining contact with other people
Requestingan answer
To get adult to respond to request verbally
Personal To demonstrate awareness of self and express one’s own feelings and individuality
Calling/addressing To address adult; to get adult’s attention
Heuristic To attempt to have environments or events in the environments explained
Greeting To acknowledge adult’s or object’s presence
Imaginative To pretend or playact Protesting To resist or deny adult’s attention
Informative To communicate experiences or tell someone something
Repeating and imitating
To model utterance after adult’s; no response expected
Practicing (language)
To rehearse language to self; no response expected

16-24 months
SyntaxTwo-word utterances – as they approach this phase there are changes in vocabulary
1. An increase in the number of verbs2. An increase in the number of object-class words3. A decrease in the number of other relational words4. A decrease in the time between single word utterances (debatable)
Semantic relations1. Possession – baby bear = baby’s bear2. Agent-object (actor and object of action) – baby ball = baby rolls ball3. Entity-locative – ball cup = the ball is in the cup
NOTE: The same statement could have different meanings depending on it’s use ie. baby ball could mean baby’s ball or baby rolls ball depending on the context.
Deictic Words – the referent is dependent on the speaker, the location of objects, and temporal relationships (e.g. pronouns)
NOTE: use of these terms requires theory of mind - the ability (beginning around 18 months) to understand you and others have mental states, and the ability to use this understanding to interact and communicate socially - deficits in theory of mind are a potential contributor to Autism.

Fast mapping – the theory that children as young as 18 months can acquire new words with just a few exposures and without formal instruction, occurring in steps:
1. After one exposure the child connects the word and the concept2. Child works out the exact meaning of the word (this takes more time)3. Words are connected to other words based on meaning (as opposed to words being
learned as a whole in isolation

16-24 months
MorphologyMorphemes acquired between the ages of 19 and 28 months:
1. -ing (in one-word utterances)2. in3. on
Note: Must be used correctly 90% of the time to be considered “acquired”
Mean Length of Utterance (MLU) – Number of morphemes (in a language sample) divided by
number of utterances (in the same sample)1. Reliable predictor of linguistic complexity2. Tends to increase by 1.2 morphemes per year from 18 months to 5 years3. Roger Brown developed this measure and grouped early linguistic development into stages
based on age and MLU
Brown’s Stage 1 of language development1. Age 12-26 months2. MLU: 1.0-2.03. Use of about an equal number of one and two word utterances4. Use of intonation to ask yes or no questions5. Begins to use wh- questions
