 Functions 0-9 months: Mainly instrumental and regulatory | Phonology: Babbling and basic intonation patterns emerge even pre-verbally Reduplication may be common e.g. baba, nana |
| Functions 9-18 months: Interactional, instrumental and regulatory functions served by verbal as well as non-verbal utterances | Lexis/Semantics: Much naming of people and objects in immediate environment. Meanings are context and phonology dependent. |

Indirect requests such as 'Can I have?' | Phonology: continuing stabilisation of phonemic and prosodic aspects, though some consonants (such as l, r, th) still not acquired: e.g. 'three' where 'f' is likely to be substituted for 'th'. |
