Annotation

A study of how the linguistic and pragmatic awareness of monolingual and multilingual children manifests itself, showing that multilingual children develop early a comparative awareness that presupposes analytical abilities ( thus forcing a reconsideration of Piaget's characterization of the preoperational stage of a child's development).
