Event Knowledge and Early Language Acquisition.

Farrar, Michael Jeffrey; And Others

Journal of Child Language, v20 n3 p591-606 Oct 1993

In a study of event knowledge, 13 2-year-olds were observed interacting with their mothers over a 5-month period. Results indicated that children's increasing event knowledge facilitated their language development (e.g., lexical type use, action verb use) and their lexical token use. (Contains 33 references.)
