Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Speech that consists of short, simple sequences of nouns and verbs without plurals or tenses or function words is known as telegraphic speech. This type of speech is often observed during the early stages of language acquisition in toddlers, around the age of 24-30 months. It is called telegraphic because it mimics the brevity and simplicity of telegrams. The other options, such as two-word stage or one-word stage, refer to specific stages of language development, while overregulated words and babbling do not describe this type of speech.
