Among the goals of developmental psycholinguistics are these three: to construct a description of the tacit knowledge of language that children have at various points in their development; to describe the processes that children use in producing and comprehending sentences; and to describe the principles of change or development that govern the first two. It is obvious that these are interdependent tasks.
