The child's morphological knowledge

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Morphological knowledge refers to the understanding of how words are formed by combining morphemes, such as prefixes, suffixes, and other syllable modifiers. Therefore, option A is correct as it describes the details of these elements. Option B refers to a phenomenon where children tend to assume that each object has a unique name and this would not affect their morphological knowledge. Option C refers to a stage in language development where children produce one-word utterances, which is not related to morphological knowledge. Finally, option D refers to situations where children either overly restrict or apply a word's meaning too broadly, and this does not relate to their understanding of morphological elements.
