Negative Evidence on Negative Evidence.

Morgan, James L.; And Others

Developmental Psychology, v31 n2 p180-97 Mar 1995

Studied the relationship between parents' correcting of childrens' sentences and children's subsequent grammaticality. Found that parent's language corrections are related to children's subsequent grammaticality but that recasts of incorrect sentences serve as negative leading indicators of grammaticality. Also shows that correction and negative evidence are not equivalent. (ET)
