Abstract
This work emphasizes the need of an approach to child language from a pragmatic view in order to be able to study the communicative aspects of their use of language. First, because language is actually used in communicative contexts. Secondly, because child language models are somehow different from codified models in adults. And third, because eventual disorders and limitations can only be evaluated as for its degree of communicative efficiency and interaction.
