Overregularization occurs when a child applies a grammatical rule too broadly, including exceptional cases where the rule does not apply. This is a common part of language development. Overextension refers to the use of a word or phrase in an overly broad or general way, such as using "car" to refer to all vehicles. Child-directed speech refers to the way adults modify their language when speaking to young children. Agrammatism is a language disorder where a person has difficulty using and understanding grammatical structures.
