Detailed explanation-1: -5. Telegraphic Stage – 2-2.5-years-old. At this stage, children experience a vocabulary spurt or “explosion.” Production is pidgin-like, as grammatical/function words (little words) such as ‘the, ’ ‘a, ’ ‘is, ’ ‘will, ’ ‘of, ’ ‘by, ’ pluralization, tense (past-ed), verb endings/person agreements (she eat ‘s’) are omitted.
Detailed explanation-2: -However, in the post-telegraphic stage at age 3 a child will begin to speak increasingly like an adult, by age 4 their spoken language is largely grammatically accurate with complete sentences.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Telegraphic stage occurs around the age of 2 1/2 years. In this stage, children begin stringing more than two words together, perhaps three or four or five at a time.
