[Michael Tomasello]

Can anyone direct me to studies or reports of young children - the
younger the better (2 years?) - playing with words or other linguistic
structures "knowingly" in either comprehsnion or production.  I am
thinking of very simple things like participating with an adult in
calling a giraffe an elephant (or some other such silliness) and then
laughing about it together.

Thanks in advance.
