Answer to Question 1

Overextension occurs when children define words more broadly than adults do. For example, a child uses the word car to refer to cars, buses, and trucks. Underextension occurs when children define words more narrowly than adults do. For example, a child uses the word car only to refer to the family car. Referential style is a language-learning style of children whose vocabularies are dominated by names of objects, persons, or actions. For example, a child has 41 name words in her 50-word vocabulary, but only two words for social interaction. Expressive style is a language-learning style of children whose vocabularies include many social phrases that are used like one word. Some examples of this are go away and I want it.. Children with an expressive style have a more balance vocabulary with plenty of words for social interactions, questions, and name words. Telegraphic speech contains only the words necessary to convey a message. One example of this is He eating rather than He is eating..
