When does the telegraphic stage in first language acquisition typically occur?

  1. 1-2 years old

  2. 2-3 years old

  3. 3 or more years old

  4. 6 months old - 1-year-old

The correct answer is: 2-3 years old

The telegraphic stage in first language acquisition typically occurs around 2-3 years old. During this stage, children begin to produce two-word phrases that contain essential content words, resembling the concise style of a telegram, hence the term "telegraphic." This stage signifies a significant advancement in language development as children move beyond one-word utterances to more complex sentence structures. Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
