Modern interest in the development of communicative functions can be traced to Austin (1962) and Searle (1969). Bates, Camaioni, and Volterra (1975) and Bruner (1975) provided an initial application of these ideas from philosophy of language to the communicative development of children. Both Bates and colleagues (1975) and Sugarman-Bell (1978) noted levels of communicative development that, in their small samples, seemed to correspond with changes in cognitive sophistication. Halliday (1975) described a theoretical sequence of seven communicative functions, including both pragmatic (goal directed) and referential (reflecting an interest in knowledge) categories. He predicted that they would emerge in order, beginning with the simplest pragmatic function, requesting an object, and ending with the most abstract referential function, informing a listener or information not previously known to that individual. Halliday seemed to imply that these developments were based on cognitive growth. |
