The language of toddlers includes imaginative verbal inventiveness that has not been studied as thoroughly as it deserves. This book describes and thoroughly examines some of the word creations that young children craft in their efforts to communicate with those around them.
Specific techniques of this linguistic creativity are documented and analyzed; it is not accidental but demonstrates that children possess linguistic structures. The main goal of the book is to highlight this unexplored linguistic world of children, filled with original, compound, derived, and charming words, and to prove the valid and logical manner in which they are created.
It is a pure and natural art of speech, like the world of children itself, which instinctively stems from them and ultimately turns out to be revealing and educational at the same time. It involves verbal inventiveness and phrase-making techniques that enchant, giving us a unique linguistic code whose "creator" is the children themselves.
