CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Telegraphic speech is simply two-word sentences, such as “kitty tired” or “I hungry”. Toddlers develop this level of speech between 18-24 months. Telegraphic speech is important because it means your little one is: Learning to communicate their thoughts and feelings.

Detailed explanation-2: -Telegraphic speech is seen developmentally when a child moves beyond the two-word, relational stage of language development and begins to express longer, three-word sentences using a finite set of grammatical categories, such as nouns, verbs, and adjectives.

Detailed explanation-3: -Here are some important features of telegraphic speech: Words are in the correct order. Only the most important words are used (usually a noun and a verb or an adjective and a noun). Grammatical constructions are missing, such as prefixes, conjunctions, prepositions, pronouns, and question words.

Detailed explanation-4: -This can be especially difficult in questions, when word order is reversed in English. Because of this, people with aphasia often speak in mostly nouns and verbs. This is called “telegraphic speech” – so called because it resembles the writing that was used in telegrams.
