It is obvious that the growing child manifests an increasing
understanding of his language and facility to use it. A major part
of the child lan guage literature is concerned with the child's
developing linguistic and communicative competence. Scattered
evidence also shows, however, that children become progressively
more aware of language as Zanguage. It is interesting to consider
in what ways the internal structure and mechanisms of language
become more accessible. Little is known about linguistic aware ness
of this kind, the role it plays, or how it develops. When the new
Projektgruppe fUr Psycholinguistik of the Max-Planck Gesellschaft
was founded, "the child's conception .of language," in analogy to
Piaget's "child's conception of the physical world," become one of
the research unit's topics of study. As previous work on linguistic
awareness was largely amorphous, we first organized a kind of
conference workshop with some of those who had worked in the area.
The aims of this meeting were to map out the field of study, detail
the phenomena of interest, and define major theoretical issues. The
meeting took place just after the creation of the project group, on
May 3-7, 1977. The participants were psychologists and linguists
who had either published work on metalinguistic issues in child
language, or who could be expected to contribute substantially to
the discussion. This book is a direct outcome of that conference,
though it is not a complete reflection of the papers presented, or
of the discussion that took place."
