The other night, Charlotte was looking at a book of Calder mobiles and she said, "look at these!" That's right, a three word phrase. And it made sense.
If anyone cares. "look at these" would count as a single word utterance if we were tabulating an MLU. She used the phrase as a single word and has never parsed the words "look" "at" or "these" into single words or combined them with others. Ergo, in Charlotte's lexicon, "look at these" is acting as a single word, perhaps to mean, "wow" or "look."
