Asking Children to Ask: An Experimental Investigation of the Pragmatics of Relayed Questions.
Tanz, Christine
Journal of Child Language, v10 n1 p187-94 Feb 1983
Examines children's errors in interpreting 'ask' as 'tell' in the framework of pragmatic development. Results indicate that if the children do not know the information, they relay the question, i.e., 'ask.' If they do know the answer, they supply it, i.e., 'tell.' (EKN)
