Analysis of Intentional Communication of Normal Children from the Prelinguistic to the Multiword Stage.

Wetherby, Amy M.; And Others

Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, v31 n2 p240-52 Jun 1988

Data on intentional communication by 15 normal children (ages 11-14 months at outset) were collected at three stages (prelinguistic, one-word, multiword) over the course of a year. All displayed acts for regulating behavior, engaging in social interaction, and referencing joint attention at each stage but with changing proportions. (Author/VW)
