Ambiguity of Reference and Listeners' Reaction in a Naturalistic Setting.
Van Hekken, Suus M. J.; And Others
Journal of Child Language, v7 n3 p555-63 Oct 1980
Studies the extent to which preschool children use pronoun ambiguity in a naturalistic setting, the circumstances in which ambiguity arises, and how the preschool children respond to such ambiguity. Results show that ambiguity of reference frequently occurs, especially when verbal disambiguation only is possible. Ambiguity did not influence listeners' social responsiveness. (PJM)
