Different Routes to Multiple-word Combinations? Papers and Reports on Child Language Development, Number 19.
Lieven, Elena V. M.
The speech of three girls aged 17 to 19 months was recorded in three at-home sessions. Patterns of single-word and multiple-word utterances were different for each of the three girls. This difference seems to support the notion that the most interaction-oriented child has, at least in terms of the word classes upon which she bases her combinations, the least sophisticated language, while the most object-oriented child has, at least in the terms employed by researchers, a very much higher degree of sophistication.
