Research on development of speech acts

[Ruth Berman]

A student of mine is doing a comparative study of speech acts in normal
and aphasic adults (Hebrew speaking)  and is interested in extending
this to children.  We would appreciate any references to work on
acquisition and development of speech acts in comprehension and
production.

Please send responses to:  Gila Batori <alexis at post.tau.ac.il>

thanks a lot for your cooperation and help
