The work of Dr Ewa Konieczna constitutes an important and valuable contribution to the studies of first language acquisition. Although intensive research in this field is being carried out in many countries and is concerned with data coming from a variety of languages, the work of Dr Konieczna – and this should be underlined – avoids overused topics and does not fall into the trap of easy imitation or eclecticism. Her work is original and highly innovative, as regards both the theoretical perspective and the extensive collection of linguistic data used in the study. Juxtaposition, on such a large scale, of specific utterances produced by Polish- and English-speaking children seems to have no precedence in
the literature of the subject.

From the review of Prof. dr hab. Bogdan Szymanek
