When a toddler used some two word sentences to communicate it is referred as?

When a toddler uses two-word sentences to communicate, it's referred to as telegraphic speech.

This term comes from the idea that these early sentences are like telegrams, conveying the essential meaning with the fewest words possible.

Here are some examples of telegraphic speech:

* "Want juice"

* "More cookie"

* "Go park"

* "Daddy gone"

Telegraphic speech is a normal stage of language development that typically occurs between 18 and 24 months of age. It's a sign that the toddler is beginning to understand the rules of grammar and how to put words together to form sentences.
