Practice Test

This chapter explores the child's first words and how they come to be mapped upon specific referents. The chapter explains how first words generally have predictable sound patterns and are initially learned fairly quickly. A child's initial lexicon is made up of substantive and relational words primarily dictated by underlying communicative intents. These early word learning strategies are not specifically taught but rather flow from the child's desire to be understood.

This activity contains 30 questions.
