ABSTRACT
The author is testing a normally developing control child on a sentence comprehension test which involves saying “yes” or “no”, depending on whether a test sentence matches a picture: DB
“Mowgli says every monkey is tickling himself”
CHILDYou mean they are tickling themselves?
DBListen again: “Mowgli says every monkey is tickling himself”
CHILDRight, so they are tickling themselves. Is that what you mean ?
DBYou try and work it out.
CHILD(frustrated) Well, I could do it if you would say it properly.
