By 1 year of age, even though babies have a limited vocabulary, they can use one-word holophrases to mean a variety of things. For example, the word "mommy" can mean "Mommy pick me up" or it can mean "Where is my mommy?" if uttered with a rising intonation. By about 2 years of age, they use telegraphic speech, which are two-word utterances. They might say, "Mommy gone" to protest that their mother has left and they are not very happy about it. If they utter speech with a rising intonation, they may be asking the question, "Is my mommy gone? Because she was here before I took my nap and now I cannot find her."
