Descrizione del libro

The book presents a series of studies that probe young children's knowledge of a relatively well-defined, abstract semantic realm, that of definite and indefinite reference. The investigation by many methods illustrates how methodological problems may systematically affect and at times even distort our picture of development if not carefully allowed for.
