A child communicates only words that are important to the message she wants to say; all non-critical words are omitted. What is the child using? a. Telegraphic speech b. Overgeneralized speech c. Babble d. Generalization

Answer 1

The answer is **a. Telegraphic speech**.Telegraphic speech is a stage of language development where children use only the most important words to convey meaning, much like a telegram. They omit articles, prepositions, and other less critical words. For example, instead of saying "I want the red ball," a child using telegraphic speech might say "Want red ball."
