Detailed explanation-1: -Also known as the pre-linguistic stage, the first stage of language development often occurs between zero and six months. Children in this phase don’t have developed language skills, so they communicate with sounds. They cry, make cooing sounds and utter nasal murmurs as their vocal tracts develop.
Detailed explanation-2: -The prelinguistic stage ranges from birth to approximately 6 months. Noises in this stage include crying, whimpering, and cooing. These sounds are not considered language because they are involuntary responses to stimuli. Linguists consider human language creative – as free from internal or external stimuli.
Detailed explanation-3: -There are four main stages of normal language acquisition: The babbling stage, the Holophrastic or one-word stage, the two-word stage and the Telegraphic stage.
Detailed explanation-4: -The pre-linguistic stage is the first of the stages of speech development. This stage is followed by the babbling stage, the first words stage, the two-word stage, and the telegraphic stage.
