The Effects of Discourse Support on the Organization and Production of Children's Utterances.
Streim, Nancy W.; Chapman, Robin S.
Applied Psycholinguistics, v8 n1 p55-66 Mar 1987
When lexical availability was manipulated through discourse support and word frequency for 40 target nouns, measurement of effects on length, complexity, order of mention, and fluency of 4- to 8-year-olds' utterances showed that the number and length of responses containing the target word varied with age, word frequency, and discourse support condition.
