On the Origins of Denial Negation.

Hummer, Peter; And Others

Journal of Child Language, v20 n3 p607-18 Oct 1993

In a study of early functions of negation (rejection and denial), 48 children under age 3 were asked easy yes/no questions. The most likely age range for the appearance of error-free denial "no" at 1 year/8 months to 2 years/1 month supports the continuity theory of negation development. (Contains 27 references.)
