 This study analyzed the speech database of 5 typically developing children and examined the possibility of using Mean Length of Utterance Measured in Words (i.e. contents words and particles, hereafter MLUw) as an index for early grammar acquisition. Up to MLUw 2.0, the increase in MLUw corresponded to the increase in the variety of grammatical particles and verb inflection forms, and it also corresponded to individual differences in the rate of grammatical development, suggesting that MLUw can be used as an index for early grammar acquisition. Based on the acquisition order of 9 particles and 11 inflection forms acquired by all 5 children, we identified the following 3 developmental stages: "the period of emerging grammar", where the first inflections were acquired and became productive, "the period of extended grammar", where a large number of grammatical particles and verb inflection forms were used flexibly, and "the period of further grammatical growth", where the acquisition progressed approaching a plateau. Beyond MLUw 2.0, the correspondence between MLUw and further expansion of grammatical particles and verb inflection forms decreased sharply, resulting in a low reliability of MLUw.
