  1. Lexical development
    1. Child's acquisition of words

      2. REMEMBER
        1. Vocab acquisition does NOT end at certain age
          1. We cont hearing & learning new words throughout life
          2. Rate of acquisition
            1. End of 1st yr
              1. Child begins to speak
              2. 18 months
                1. Vocab of about 50 words
                2. 2 yrs

                        1. At each stage, no of words understood by child is expected to be higher
                          1. 18 months - 250 words understood
                          2. Meanings
                            1. When a child adds new word to vocab, they are NOT immediately aware of its full range of meanings
                              1. More time required to acquire this additional knowledge
                              2. First words
                                1. Research has shown there are predictable patterns in the words & word classes first acquired by children

                                          1. Predictably a large proportion of child's 1st words refer to familiar people, objects & aspects of social interaction
                                          2. Word classes
                                            1. Nouns
                                              1. Verbs
