What is telegraphic speech?
Short, simple phrases containing only essential words.
What is generative language?
The ability to create an infinite number of unique ideas by combining symbols in novel ways.
What is the one-word stage?
Using single words to convey meaning, typically around 12 months.
Explain 'rule-governed' language.
Languages follow rules for combining symbols to convey meaning.
What is the significance of shared symbols in language?

What is the significance of language being generative?
Generative language allows for the creation of an infinite number of unique ideas by combining symbols in novel ways.
What is the effect of overregularization on language development?
Temporary grammatical errors, but ultimately leads to better understanding of rules.
