A Linguistic Analysis of Developmental Changes in Children's Speech Revisions

The purpose of this study was to examine and describe the emergence and development of the specific types of conversational repair strategies used by normally developing children. Previous investigations have examined the revision strategies of normally developing children demonstrating Stage I, II, III, and V linguistic behavior (Gallagher, 1977; Konefal & Stokes, 1984, Tomasello, Farrar, & Dines, 1984). An investigation that has examined the specific types of revision strategies used by children across each of Brown's (1973) linguistic stages has never been conducted.
