Communication in Symbolic Play.
Umek, Ljubica Marjanovic; Musek, Petra Lesnik; Kranjc, Simona
European Early Childhood Education Research Journal, v9 n1 p87-102 2001
Analyzed records of Slovene children's speech from a linguistic point of view and established differences in communication patterns with regard to the children's ages and the type of symbolic play. Found a shift in play from make-believe with regard to objects to roleplay related to social context. The older the child, the more language functions are intertwined. (Author/SD)
