Yes--No Answering Systems in Young Children.

Akiyama, Michael M.

Cognitive Psychology, v11 n4 p485-504 Oct 1979

Acquisition of answering systems based on speaker intention v literal components of questions was investigated in monolingual and bilingual English- and Japanese-speaking children. The results suggested that the English system is acquired earlier than the Japanese system and that the two systems interact in bilingual children. (Author/RD)
