Language Learning Strategies: Does the Whole Equal the Sum of the Parts?

Peters, Ann M.

Language, 53, 3, 560-73, Sep 77

Reports on a child who evidently used a gestalt strategy (proceeding from the whole to the parts) in learning his first language. Further evidence for a gestalt strategy exists in the literature, albeit implicitly, and any theory of language or language acquisition should be able to account for it. (Author/KM)
