Telegraphic speech refers to the two-word stage of language development in young children, where they combine words to convey a message but omit smaller words and inflections. "Mommy give toy" is an example of this, as it conveys a complete thought (the child wants their mother to give them a toy) using only the most crucial words, omitting articles, prepositions, and verb inflections.
