Re-introduction of Referents in Italian Children's Narratives.

Orsolini, Margherita; And Others

Journal of Child Language, v23 n2 p465-86 Jun 1996

Investigates the reintroduction of referents in the "Frog Stories" told by Italian children, aged 4-10 (n=100). The study confirms that elementary school children are more competent than preschoolers in integrating the semantic content of the current utterance into the context generated by previous discourse.(Author/JL)
