Denials in Young Children from a Cross-Linguistic Perspective.
Akiyama, M. Michael
Child Development, v56 n1 p95-102 Feb 1985
English- and Japanese-speaking children aged four and five were asked to say the opposite of statements. Statements varied in truth value and unmarked/marked membership of antonym pairs. Findings did not support a universality hypothesis; differences were found between the two groups in the use of semantic and syntactic denial. (Author/CB)
