12th November, 2009. 11:40 am. Nomenclature of Legos?
My husband just linked me to this article/post, which I found quite interesting, and relevant to this comm, so I thought I'd share it with you guys.
Legos & language
Quick summary to decide if you want to click:
A father and son use Legos frequently; son has friend over and they have minor incident over the "name" of a type of piece - father realizes children tend to name them, but clearly different children choose different names - makes a simple survey of a few children to compare what they call all the pieces.
It sounds a little dull from that, but it really was an interesting read, and some surprising differences & similarities arise in the children's naming. Check it out. =)
