Word formation. Major and minor ways of word formation content introduction

sentences which are meaningful to the context. 
At some point, most children manifest a 
vocabulary spurt
, where the 
rate of acquisition of new words increases suddenly and markedly. From 
then until about six years old, the average rate of acquisition is estimated 
to be five or more words a day. Many of the new words 
are verbs and adjectives, which gradually come to assume a larger 
proportion of the child's vocabulary. The vocabulary acquired during 
this period partly reflects frequency and relevance to the child's 
environment. 
Basic level
terms are acquired first, possibly reflecting a 
bias towards such terms in 
child-directed speech

In order to understand how children move between stages, it's 
important to understand how children take in stimuli from the 
environment and use it to grow. Most theorists agree that there are 
periods in children's lives in which they become biologically mature

enough to gain certain skills that they could not have easily picked up 
prior to that maturation. For example, research has shown that babies 
and toddlers' brains are more flexible with regard to learning to 
understand and use language than are older children's brains. 
Children are ready and open to develop certain things during specific 
stages; however, it doesn't just happen. Instead, they need proper 
environmental stimuli to develop these abilities. For example, babies 
have the ability to grow in length and weight in amazing amounts during 
the first year, but if they're not fed and nurtured enough during that time, 
they will not have the tools and building blocks to grow and will not 
grow and thrive. This is why it's so important for parents and caregivers 
to understand how their children are growing in all ways and channels 
and to know what stimuli, or stuff, they need to give their children to 
help them thrive. 
From time to time children without any cognitive or physical 
problems at birth may not be able to develop certain milestones during 
the stage or time period they are most receptive. There may be an injury, 
illness, caregiver neglect or abuse, or a shortage of needs such as food or 
medical care, that make it difficult for a child to absorb all the basic 
building blocks and stimulation they need to gain certain abilities at 
certain times in life.
