Abstract
The relationship between play and language usage is explored to determine if play contributes to children's language development and if play is a useful intervention technique for increasing the language competence of young children. This review of literature examines (a) the use of language to facilitate play, (b) play with language as an object, and (c) egocentric speech in play situations, and determines that there is a definite link between language and play. In addition, it is suggested that play is an effective intervention method for stimulating language development.
