<div>Dear Nina, Tag acquisition under experimental conditions
are covered in a paper of mine in Dev. Psych, 1977, 13, 101-107.
Theoretical discussion of conditions supporting acquisition for tags
and other complex syntactic structures are provided in a series of
papers, all referenced in a 2000 chapter I wrote for L. Menn & N.
B. Ratner in<u> Language Production in Children. </u> Hope
this is helpful. Best, Keith Nelson, Penn State
University</div>

<br>
I'm interested in the development of tag questions in English (and
other<br>
languages) in young children (2-4 years). Any references you can give
me<br>
would be appreciated.<br>

Sincerely,<br>
