Situation and Meaning in One- and Two-Word Utterances: Observations on Howe's "The Meanings of Two-Word Utterances in the Speech of Young Children"

Rodgon, Maris Montiz

Journal of Child Language, 4, 1, 111-114, Feb 77

This paper supports the contention of a previous paper that child language cannot be analyzed as if it were adult language. Meanings and interpretations of child language can be mistaken if observed from the adult viewpoint. Assumptions of child meaning based on the situation or action will be most accurate. (CHK)
