Knowledge about Pronouns: A Developmental Study Using a Truth-Value Judgment Task.
Eisele, Julie; Lust, Barbara
Child Development, v67 n6 p3086-3100 Dec 1996
Children and adults made truth-value judgments on matches between pictures and sentences with pronouns and possible antecedents. Results revealed the role of dependence on grammatical structure in pronoun interpretation for all ages; a significant effect of pronoun directionality (position relative to antecedent); and adults' bias related to pragmatics (situated use of language).
