Objective 41
Summarize the
development of language formation.
Explanation:
Language is spoken, written, or signed words and the way we combine them to communicate meaning. Around four months of age, babies enter the babbling stage where they make various spontaneous sounds unrelated to their household language. They are usually consonant vowel pairs formed by putting the tongue in the front of the mouth or opening and closing the lips. By ten months of age, babies can identity their household language. They lose the ability to produce sounds heard outside of their native language. By a child's first birthday they enter the one-word stage. Around two years old a child enters the two-word stage where they speak mostly in two-word statements using telegraphic speech. Telegraphic speech uses nouns and verbs like "go car". By preschool children understand and can speak complete sentences. We only use 150 words for about half of what we say, but we learn over 60,000 words in our native tongue from the time we are one to high school graduation which averages to 3,500 words per year or 10 per day.

Example:
This picture is a good example of how we grow to understand language. Bored and board sound the same but have different spellings and meanings. As we develop our language we start to understand things like this and think they are kind of funny.
