Abstract:
Children need to acquire approximately 50 words within their first 24 months. This enables them to start combining words to make short sentences, which is also the start of learning rules governing grammar. When children start to construct sentences, the mean length of their utterances correlates with their implicit grammar knowledge. Therefore, the mean length of utterance estimation can be used to assess and monitor the progress of grammar acquisition.
