Come and Go Reconsidered: Children's Use of Deictic Verbs in Contrived Situations

Richards, Meredith Martin

Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 15, 6, 655-665, Dec 76

A production-based method of investigating children's understanding of deictic verbs is described. Use of "come/go" and "bring/take" by 4-7-year-olds is compared with Clark and Garnica's 1974 study. Data reveal different facts about verb acquisition processes and order. (CHK)
