Abstract
The completion of age four for a child is a very crucial stage in its acquisition of
language. It is generally agreed that a large amount of syntax is now known to the
child and that though the linguistic development continues long after, this development
involves mainly such matters as style and possibly semantics but not apparently
syntax (Slobin, 1966 & 1971). In other words, having completed successfully the
acquisition of the rudiments of a language, the child is now assumed to be involved in
processes of acquisition which would enable him to produce utterances matching
adult speech.
