1. Prelinguistic stage (0-12 months): During this stage, infants communicate through crying, cooing, babbling, and gestures. They are developing the ability to understand and respond to language.
2. Holophrastic stage (12-18 months): In this stage, children begin to use single words to communicate their needs and wants. They may also start to use gestures and facial expressions to convey meaning.
3. Two-word stage (18-24 months): Children begin to combine two words to form simple phrases, such as "more milk" or "big dog." They are starting to understand basic grammar rules and sentence structure.
4. Telegraphic stage (24-36 months): During this stage, children start to use short, simple sentences that contain only essential words. They may omit articles, prepositions, and other non-essential words.
5. Early multiword stage (3-4 years): Children begin to use more complex sentences and expand their vocabulary. They can express more complex thoughts and ideas, and their language becomes more fluent and coherent.
6. Later multiword stage (4-5 years): By this stage, children have a large vocabulary and can use language to express a wide range of emotions, thoughts, and ideas. They are able to understand and use more complex grammar rules.
7. School-age stage (5-7 years): Children continue to refine their language skills and expand their vocabulary. They are able to understand and use more abstract language, such as metaphors and idioms.
8. Adolescence and beyond: Language development continues throughout adolescence and into adulthood. During this stage, individuals continue to refine their language skills, expand their vocabulary, and develop more sophisticated communication abilities.

Prelinguistic Stage (0-1 years)
- Cooing (0-3 months): Simple vowel sounds and vocalizations.
- Babbling (3-6 months): Complex strings of vowel and consonant sounds, without specific meaning.
- Meaningful babbling (7-12 months): Babbling that includes recognizable words or syllables.
Early Linguistic Stage (1-2 years)
- One-word stage (12-15 months): Production of single words, representing objects, actions, or emotions.
- Two-word stage (18-24 months): Combination of two words to form simple sentences, expressing basic thoughts.
Telegraphic Speech (2-3 years)
- Use of only essential words in sentences, without function words (e.g., articles, prepositions).
- Overgeneralization of grammatical rules (e.g., "I goed" instead of "I went").
Primitive Grammar Stage (3-4 years)
- Emergence of basic grammatical structures, including subject-verb agreement and use of prepositions.
- Expansion of vocabulary and sentence complexity.
Advanced Grammar Stage (4-5 years)
- Mastery of complex grammatical structures, including past tense, future tense, conditionals, and conjunctions.
- Use of more sophisticated vocabulary and longer sentences.
Elaborated Language (5+ years)
- Continued vocabulary expansion and increased sentence complexity.
- Use of metalinguistic abilities (e.g., discussing language itself).
- Development of narrative and expository language skills.
