Cooing and babbling tend to occur first, followed by holophrases (one-word sentences used to convey entire thoughts or ideas) and then telegraphic speech (two to three-word phrases that convey meaning but lack some grammatical features). This order is consistent with the stages of language development identified by linguists.
