Abstract
Kolk, van Grunsven, and Keyser (1985) and Kolk and Hofstede (1987) answer "No" to the question posed in the title of this article. Let us consider instances when normal subjects use "telegraphic style." The authors mentioned above point to dialogue markers, talking to foreigners and children as such cases. However, the offered list seems incomplete and may be enlarged; in doing so, it is important to define the structure and function of agrammatical utterances in normal language users. A Russian author has an advantage in solving this because in the Russian scientific tradition the problem has been approached from both the linguistic (Potebnia, 1888; Iakubinsky, 1923; Zemskaia, 1973; Zemskaia, Kitaigorodskaia, and Shir'aev, 1981) and psychological (Vygotsky, 1934) perspectives.
