Your friends Tom and Susan have an 18-month-old daughter, Lynda, who has a vocabulary of approximately 50 words. Almost all of Lynda's words are names of objects, people, or actions. Tom and Susan wonder if this is normal
What can you tell them about the different language-learning styles?
What will be an ideal response?
A good answer will be similar to the following:
Lynda sounds as if she has a referential language-learning style because most of the words in her vocabulary are the names of objects, people, and actions. In contrast, children who have an expressive language-learning style have a higher percentage of social phrases that are used in social interactions. Referential children use language as an intellectual tool but expressive children use it as a social tool. In other words, Lynda's language development is normal and typical of that of referential children.
