Comprehension and Production of Word Order in Stage I.
Roberts, Kenneth
Child Development, v54 n2 p443-49 Apr 1983
The notion that partial control of full agent-action-patient word order in comprehension may precede its production was examined. Reversible active sentences including the verbs "kiss,""hug," and "tickle" were presented to a triad of listeners consisting of a test child, a familiar adult caretaker, and a familiar older child.
