Inappropriate Expansion: A Demonstration of a Methodology for Child Language Research

Bushnell, Emily W.; Aslin, Richard N.

Journal of Child Language, 4, 1, 115-122, Feb 77

Adult expansion of child utterances can serve as a communication check and as a base for child language research. Inappropriate expansion may be corrected by the child if it changes his meaning, or may be ignored, if word order or phonetics appeared correct to the child. (CHK)
