Gesture and speech combinations beyond two-word stage in an experimental task

Gestures and speech combinations have a crucial role on early lexical and syntactic development. Nonetheless, little is known about the role of these combinations on language learning beyond the two-word stage. Our aim is to explore how children combine gestures and speech when they start to master...

description Gestures and speech combinations have a crucial role on early lexical and syntactic development.
