Charting New Paths in the Study of Kin Term Acquisition
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract Kin terms appear among infants’ earliest words, yet a full mastery of kin concepts typically emerges only in late childhood. This prolonged developmental trajectory reflects not only children's acquisition of an abstract relational system of words, but also their growing understanding of social relationships and interactional norms.
