- Louise (Mom): Aww! Are you telling me about your morning? Yes, you sure are!
- Maya: Ahhh...Ooo...
- Pre-linguistic Stage — Cooing Serve-and-Return (0–6 Months)Narrative Script: Language development does not just happen when children begin to utter their first words. Infants in the early stages of life use crying, cooing, and vocal play as means of communication. These responses, combined with serve and return activities, form the basic neurological framework for language.

- Babbling Phoneme Production (6–11 Months)Narrative Script: From 6 to 11 months, babies develop canonical babbling skills, making repeated syllables such as “ba-ba” or “ma-ma.” Babies start focusing on the phonemes, which are the particular speech sound patterns, of their native language.
- Louise (Mom): Baba? Do you want your bottle? Here's your bottle, Maya!
- Maya: Ma-ma! Ba-ba!

- One-Word Stage and Holophrases (12–18 Months)Narrative Script: One-word (or holophrastic) stage is achieved at about 12 months. A single word operates as a whole sentence or utterance, being accompanied by body language, tone of voice, and shared attention between caregiver and infant.
- Louise (Mom): You see the beach ball! Do you want mommy to roll the ball to you?
- Maya: (Points at ball) Ball!

- Maya: Puppy! Puppy woof!
- Vocabulary Explosion and Fast Mapping (18–24 Months)Narrative Script: At 18 to 24 months of age, kids have a naming explosion as they acquire language quickly through fast mapping, which is associating a new word with its corresponding concept very rapidly.

- Two-Word Combinations and Telegraphic Speech (2 years)Narrative Script: At the age of two, children begin to form sentences that have two words in them, called telegraphic speech. Telegraphic speech does not include any grammatical markers but expresses relations like possession, action, or desires.

- Expansion and Scaffolding (2.5 years)Narrative Script: The secondary caregivers help promote language development by means of expansion and recast, whereby they repeat the child’s short phrases in a grammatically correct manner as an adult would say them with more complex vocabulary.

- Overgeneralization of Grammar Rules (3 years)Narrative Script: When kids learn the rules of syntax and morphology (for example, putting the suffix -ed on past-tense words), they often overgeneralize these rules on their irregular counterparts. This is actually good language learning practice!
- Slajd: 8
- Complex Sentences and Pragmatics (3.5 years)Narrative Script: By ages 3.5 to 4, children develop their pragmatic skills, which are the social skills of communication. This includes adapting the tone of voice, listening, taking turns, negotiation, and polite language.
