Abstract
The functional, semantic and syntactic characteristics of pragmatic connectives in the peer discourse of six 6-year-old children were examined. The data were compared to data from five of the six children at 4 years of age. Results indicated that pragmatic connectives were functionally stable throughout this period. Developmental changes related to advanced linguistic skills.
