Summary/Abstract: Research on early language development tries to explain and describe the process of child language acquisition. It also tries to prove in an indirect way some hypotheses in the existing linguistic theories. This paper gives guidelines for a different theoretical approach with a critical overview of psycholinguistic theories which deal with language development, and stresses the need for determining new boundaries in early language development.
