Abstract
CLARK, EVE V. Strategies for Communicating. CHILD DEVELOPMENT, 1978, 49, 953-959. Children stretch their language in order to communicate when they lack the adult words. With object categories they often overextend terms to inappropriate instances. They may do so with certain terms in production but not in comprehension. With spatial relations they may opt for 1 general purpose locative term to talk about many different configurations, and with actions they often rely on general purpose verbs. What children mean on any 1 occasion, therefore, is bound up with their strategies for communicating.
