Correct Answer - Option 3 : Both I and II
Children seem to pass through a series of more or less fixed ‘stages’, as they acquire language. The age at which different children reach each stage can vary considerably, however, the order of ‘stages’ remains the same. There are four stages of language learning:
- Pre-Production Stage - Silent Period: Listen is more in action as compared to production. They understand keywords and phrases.
-
Early Production Stage - Telegraphic and Formulaic Language: The type of English children produce in the early stages of language learning, for example, they say, "yes, no", greetings like "good morning, good night", and daily routines.
- Speech Emergence Stage - Period of Expanded Production: They begin to understand language pretty well, but still are dependent on context.
- Intermediate Fluency Stage - Creative Expanded Production: They learn complex form of language and vocabulary.
Hence, we conclude that formulaic language contains both greetings and daily routines.
