Telegraphic speech: Sophie at 2 years and four months.
This is known, according to linguists, is the speech during the two word stage of child language acquisition in children, which is laconic and efficient, Within my transcript, it shows a girl called Sophie who begins within the telegraphic stage. This telegraphic stage contains many three or four word sentences, however, grammatically - this is seen as accurate as her syntactic structure is accurate. Examples include ''read that'' which contextually, could perhaps mean read a book, in which she is mentioning to her care-giver. Sometimes, during this stage, sophie begins to form links within the words. The consistent incorrect use of the possesive pronoun creates a sense that children who are at the age of two years and four months tend be more ego-centric.This is evident within the text as sophie utilises this through the use of the possesive pronoun 'me' rather than the pronoun 'I'.  During this stage, sophie is only using two words at a time, they are still able to put the words in an order that closely resembles the order in which the words should be in a fully-formed sentence.

As sophie is the age of two years, she is also learning to acquire speech Emergence. Similarly to the two word stage of language acquisition, sophie will display the ability to construct simple phrases and communicate basic ideas. Sophie's comprehension improves greatly, but production will still be low, and basic. This is the stage in which grammar errors occur frequently and sentences structure is not always accurate. Nevertheless, she will be able to communicate thoughts and ideas and she can therefore respond effectively to more advanced questions like “why…” and “how…”. 

Sophie begins to develop more complex phrases with multiple words which is much more evident by the age of three years and two months - this is also commonly known as the post-telegraphic stage. Sophie can therefore better define items and personal belongings by combining two words at a time, such as 'can I borrow your corder' For example, sophie may point to a car and say “mommy car”, communicating that either sophie thinks that is her mother’s car or it actually is.
