Description and Table of Contents

Description

This study is concerned with the general question of the extent to which children between the age of 5 and 10 have achieved mastery of their native language, and explores areas of disparity between adult and child grammar. Mrs. Chomsky has examined a sample of 40 children and presents the actual interview material as well as a report on her experiments, theoretical considerations of linguistic complexity, and a summary. This pioneering attempt to unravel the complex network of the later stages of syntax acquisition will undoubtedly be of great relevance to linguists and psychologists.
