words within their first 24 months. This
enables them to start combining words to
make short sentences, which is also the start

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.
