Speech Roles and the Development of Personal Pronouns.
Charney, Rosalind
Journal of Child Language, v7 n3 p509-28 Oct 1980
Pronoun mastery demands a knowledge of speech roles and an ability to identify oneself and others in those roles. Twenty-one girls' knowledge of "my,""your," and "her" was assessed when they were speakers, addressees, and nonaddressed listeners. The children were aware of speech roles only when they themselves occupied these roles. (PJM)
