Utterance Length In Children Verses Thesis

However, since previous studies have already shown that there is a certain point where children rise above the levels of chimpanzee language skills, these future studies need to focus on finding the particular average age in which this further development takes place. This means an ANOVA data analysis study based on a weekly transgression of language development of a relatively large population of growing kids and chimpanzees. With a larger portion being studies on a much more constant basis, researchers should be able to get a more concrete age range of when human children begin to significantly rise above the language skills of chimpanzees based on the complexity of utterances and sentences. This would provide the psychological world a better idea of exactly what age range we branch of from our ape ancestors.

When presented with examples of the exclusively literary type of hyperbaton out of their literary context, native speakers of Polish either rejected them say-ing that they did not understand why the Y1 modifiers were in hyperbaton, or corrected them into colloquially

Abandoned by her parents -- a drunken street singer for a mother and a
