Referential Style and Maternal Directiveness: Different Measures Yield Different Results.

Pine, Julian M.

Applied Psycholinguistics, v15 n2 p135-48 Jun 1994

The relationship between different measures of maternal directiveness and different measures of referential style were investigated in the same group of eight mother-infant dyads. Findings suggest that the attentional regulation hypothesis may be less valuable as a means of explaining stylistic variation in early vocabulary composition. (15 references) (Author/LB)
