The relationship of single words to two-word sentences. |
|
| Authors: | S Starr |
| Abstract: | The relationship between the single-word utterances and 2-word sentences of 12 children was examined as part of a longitudinal study of language development. Children whose single-word utterances usually named objects produced sentences which named many objects. Children whose single words were frequently interjections produced sentences which expressed desire for an object. 2-word sentences seem to have some of their structural and functional roots in the single-word phase. |
