  2. Mutual intelligibility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutual_intelligibility

    Mutual intelligibility is sometimes used to distinguish languages from dialects, although sociolinguistic factors are often also used. Intelligibility between varieties can be asymmetric; that is, speakers of one variety may be able to better understand another than vice versa. An example of this is the case between Afrikaans and Dutch. It is ...

    Robert Selman developed his developmental theory of role-taking ability based on four sources. [4] The first is the work of M. H. Feffer (1959, 1971), [5] [6] and Feffer and Gourevitch (1960), [7] which related role-taking ability to Piaget's theory of social decentering, and developed a projective test to assess children's ability to decenter as they mature.

Bialystok and colleagues (2010) found that the younger children in their sample of 3- and 4.5-year-olds showed ...

  7. Word learning biases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_learning_biases

    It is unclear if the word-learning constraints are specific to the domain of language, or if they apply to other cognitive domains. Evidence suggests that the whole object assumption is a result of an object's tangibility; children assume a label refers to a whole object because the object is more salient than its properties or functions. [7]

  8. Age-graded variation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age-graded_variation

    Adolescents tend to lead with an increased use of vernacular and linguistic variables to differentiate themselves from the adult population. [ 7 ] When studies began to include younger age groups, researchers (e.g. Ash 1982; Cedergren 1973, 1988) discovered that the frequency of incoming linguistic changes is highest among 15- to 17-year-olds ...
