Me or My: Two Different Patterns of Pronoun Case Errors.

Rispoli, Matthew

Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, v41 n2 p385-93 Apr 1998

A longitudinal study of 12 children (ages 1-3), investigated why some prefer to replace "I" with "me", whereas others prefer to replace "I" with "my". The percentage of errors in which "me" replaced "I" was positively correlated with the correct production of "me" as an objective pronoun. (Author/CR)
