What is language? What is speech?
While speech is the physical ability to talk, language is the system used to communicate a message. We convey language through spoken or written words, gestures, as well as sign language. Language is made up of socially shared rules such as, the meaning of words, putting appropriate words together and using the appropriate words in a specific social situation. The following link outlines the important concepts of language development and definitions of each part of speech development.
