Metalinguistic Awareness as a Unitary Construct, and its Relation to General Intellectual Development.

Ricciardelli, Lina A., And Others

Rassegna Italiana di Linguistica Applicata, v21 n1-2 p19-40 Jan-Aug 1989

Ten metalinguistic tasks of intellectual development were studied in five- and six-year-old children using factor analysis. Results suggested that metalinguistic awareness can be viewed as developing in association with other intellectual activities, and that it can be conceived as a unitary construct.
