The Stages of Language in an individual's early life, telegraphic speech, and linguistic determination

Babbling Stage is usually around four months of age and is when newborns suddenly start making various sounds such as “ah-goo”.
One-word stage follows babbling stage and occurs as a child nears its first birthday. It is when they learn to use sounds to communicate meaning and usually is simple, one syllable words such as ma, da, or doggy. It initiates when an infant’s language starts to develop and change into its family’s speech.
Two-word stage starts at 18 months of age and it is when language moves along with an increase in a child’s speaking. It is when an infant gains the ability to say two word sentences.
Telegraphic speech characterizes the two-word stage. It is the early form of speech that contains mostly nouns and verbs and it starts to follow the rules of syntax and words in a sensible order. For example, children may say words such as “big doggy”.
Whorf’s theory of linguistic determination states that different languages provide a different conception on reality. A language may shape a man’s basic ideas with an example being the Hopi’s lack of past tense which theorizes that they cannot readily think about the past as a result. This theory shows that people of different cultures think differently due to a change in language. Those who are bilingual can more easily realize this since, more specifically, English speakers tend to use multiple self-focused emotional words and the Japanese contain more words for interpersonal emotions such as sympathy. Bilinguals have also reported a different sense of self.
