Abstract
The effect of an adult—child discourse structure on children's production of word combinations was examined. Seventeen children at the single-word utterance level (i; 5–2; i) served as subjects. An experimental group of six children were engaged in vertical structures over io sessions, while the remaining children served as a control group. Pre-tests and post-tests revealed a significant difference in the number of spontaneous and elicited multiword productions for the experimental group, but no difference for the control group.
