How Does Combining Words Occur in Language Development?
A child needs to have a vocabulary of about 75-100 words to start combining words.
Children's combining words takes place at the level of 18 months-24 months. It starts with putting words together.
The breadth of the vocabulary alone is not enough to combine words.
If all the words your child knows are object names (ball, car, baby, milk, cat…
Because constructing a sentence such as "milk cat" does not meet your child's wishes and needs.
Your child's vocabulary is 50-100 words, nouns (car , fish, water, cake, daddy, bed), adjectives (slow, little, much), verbs (go, open, get, run, hold), pronouns (me, you, this, her, my, yours) even age It should contain different word groups such as prepositions that indicate space (in, under) and question (what, who, where, when) depending on the level of the child.
If your child's vocabulary is not sufficient, it is important to focus on developing your child's vocabulary.
