Imitations, Repetitions, Routines, and the Child's Analysis of Language: Insights from the Blind.

Perez-Pereira, Miguel

Journal of Child Language, v21 n2 p317-37 Jun 1994

A blind child and her sighted twin sister were recorded at home once a month from 2;5 to 3;5, and their repetitions and routines were analyzed with respect to three dimensions. Results showed that the blind twin used routines and modified imitations and repetitions more frequently, and her use of modified repetitions increased during the study. (Contains 50 references.)
