Language Development A system of symbols, spoken, written and gestural that allows humans to communicate with one another. Normal language development is regular and sequential. Speech and language development is related to the child’s general cognitive, social, perceptual and neuromuscular development.
Language can be broken down into three major components: • Form • Content • Use
Form • Syntax (word order, sentence organization) • Morphology (smallest grammatical unit) • Phonology (rules of structure, distribution and sequencing of speech sounds)
