Is Early Pragmatic Development Measurable?

Dale, Philip S.

Journal of Child Language, v7 n1 p1-12 Feb 1980

Measures of pragmatic development for children in the second year of life were developed based on a 30-minute language sample drawn from 20 children. Results support the view that the range of pragmatic functions grows steadily during the one-word and early two-word stage and that it is measurable. (Author/AM)
