Abstract
Abstract Early perspectives on language acquisition Early psycholinguistics used to be a neglected area, due to the spectacular restart of the discipline during the 1950s and 1960s. In an article published in Nederlandse Taalkunde 10 (2005), Marijke van der Wal and Ariane van Santen contribute to a correction of this disbalance by discussing early 20th-century Dutch research into language acquisition. Their discussion of Van Ginneken’s De Roman van een kleuter (The story of a toddler) (1917) and supplement to this book shows that, in those days, a relatively advanced degree of empirical knowledge about developmental stages in child language and awareness of related, partially time-bound, theoretical issues had already been attained.
