- See I. M. Schlesinger, “Acquisition of Grammar: What and How Should We Investigate?,” p. 192 in this volume: “the study of what is learned at a given stage cannot be separated from the study of how it is learned, without degenerating into data gathering devoid of theoretical interest.” This has also been stressed by me in “Zum Spracherwerb des Kindes in zweisprachiger Umgebung,” Folia Linguistics, IV (1971), 335 and 356. See also Walburga von Raffier-Engel, “Theoretical Phonology and First Language Acquisition,” Folia Linguistica, IV (1971), 325.
