From Two to Five

The focus is on the speech of children aged two to five years. The author provides examples of children's statements, analyzes unexpected words and phrases, and shows the internal logic by which children master language. This publication lies at the intersection of child psychology, linguistics, and pedagogy. Here, not only the witty and sometimes amusing phrases of toddlers are important, but also the very process of speech development: how a child hears the words of adults, reinterprets them, and creates their own linguistic forms.
