Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Single words used by children in the single-word stage can indeed convey complex ideas. At this stage, a single word might be used to express a whole sentence's worth of meaning, depending on the context and the child's intonation, gestures, and the situation. For example, saying "milk" could mean "I want milk," "Where is the milk?" or "I see milk," depending on the context.
