The Semantic Development of Negation: A Cross-Linguistic Longitudinal Study.

Choi, Soonja

Journal of Child Language, v15 n3 p517-31 Oct 1988

Analysis of negative utterances from English-, French-, and Korean-speaking one- through three-year-olds identified nine distinct semantic/pragmatic categories with a similar developmental order in all three languages. Different patterns were found in the form-function relationship for the different categories. (Author/CB)
