The emergence of Dutch connectives: How cumulative cognitive complexity explains the order of acquisition
Before they are three years old, most children have started to build coherent discourse. This article focuses on one important linguistic device children have to learn: connectives. The main questions are: Do connectives emerge in a fixed order? And if so, how can this order be explained? In line with Bloom et al.
