    Brown's Stages of language development categorizes children's language abilities into 5 stages based on mean length of utterance (MLU) and morphological, syntactic, and semantic features. Stage I occurs between 12-26 months with 1-2 word utterances. Stage II between 27-30 months incorporates present progressive verbs and plural markers. Stage III from 31-34 months includes irregular past tense and possessive markers. Stage IV from 35-40 months adds determiners and regular past tense.
