alleryTelegraphic speech usually appears between the ages of:
A18 to 36 months
B2 to 6 months
C7 to 10 months
D5 to 8 years
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. 18 to 36 months
1. Telegraphic speech is the two-word stage that follows the holophrastic stage.
2. Researchers note that it occurs some time between 18 and 36 months.
3. It is found worldwide, not only in English-speaking cultures.
4. So the range is 18 to 36 months.
**Why not the others:** The 2 to 6 and 7 to 10 months ranges are cooing and babbling, and 5 to 8 years is far too late.
