Old and New Ways Not to Study Comprehension; Comments on Petretic and Tweney's (1977) Experimental Review of Shipley, Smith, & Gleitman (1969).
Gleitman, Lila R.; And Others
Journal of Child Language, v5 n3 p501-19 Oct 1978, Oct78
Rebuts an article that claimed to overthrow the authors' 1969 findings. It is demonstrated that the original study concerned syntactic organization and that interpretation of it as bearing on comprehension is largely unjustified. Comments on their prior work in light of new developments in child language are included. (EJS)
