In the past fi fteen years there has been a growi ng interest in
the development of children's awareness of language as an object in
itself -- a phenomenon now generally referred to as metal inguistic
awareness. Until the publication of an earlier volume in the
Springer Series in Language and Communication, The Chitd's
Conoeption oi Language, edited by A. Sinclair, R. J. Jarvella, and
W. J. M. Levelt, there had been no systematic treatment of
metalinguistic awareness. The major goal of that volume was to map
out the field of study by describing the phenomenon of interest and
defining major theoretical issues. The aim of the present volume is
to present an overview of metalinguistic awareness in children
which reflects the current state of research and theory. The volume
is divided into three major sections. The first considers various
conceptual and methodological issues that have arisen from efforts
to study metalinguistic awareness. It addresses such questions as
what is metalinguistic awareness, when does it begin to emerge, and
what tasks and procedures can be employed to assess its development
in young children. The second sect ion cri ti ca 11y revi ews the
research that has been conducted i nto the four general types of
metalinguistic awareness -- phonologieal, word, syntactic, and
pragmatic awareness. In the final section the development of
metalinguistic awareness is examined in relation to general
cognitive development, reading acquisition, bilingualism, and early
childhood education.
