Originally published in 1980 The Verbal Games of Pre-school
Children states that in the course of acquiring language, every
child recognizes that verbal interaction is a powerful tool which
can be used to interpret and manipulate the world. During the last
previous two decades developments in the study of both language
acquisition and linguistic theory had begun to illustrate that the
acquisition of a first language involves considerably more than the
mere learning of grammatical structure. This view of learning had
led researchers gradually to see children as more than grammarians
devising grammatical constructs. The tendency at the time was to
see the child as an active partner in what are essentially games of
communication and invention during which the rules of usage as well
as the rules of grammar are discovered. This study is based on
extensive and detailed observation of the verbal interaction of two
pre-school children, and as such offers far-reaching ideas and
conclusions concerning the manner in which all children determine
the role of language in their lives, whilst simultaneously learning
how to piece it together.
