20 Mar generalization
A process of conceptually linking words, things or objects to other words, things or objects that have some shared characteristics. Children generalize about linguistic form throughout language acquisition, sometimes correctly inferring transformations to words that change their tense or number. Parents usually notice generalization when the children fail to corrently change a word to change its tense or number, such as the word “goed” for “went”.
