Growing Language Complexity
Language development in children involves the gradual transition from simple, childlike sentences to more complex structures. Early sentences often contain basic noun phrases and a verb but lack grammatical elements typical in adult speech, such as subject pronouns and progressive verb forms. Understanding morphemes is crucial; for example, a sentence like 'me go' has two morphemes, while 'I dry it' contains three. As children learn to use more intricate sentences, they incorporate additional morphemes, such as progressive 'ing' and auxiliary forms, increasing the total morphemes in their speech. This progression reflects their growing linguistic capabilities.
