Werbalizacja rozumienia pojęć przez dzieci jako wykładnik kształtowania znaczeń

The paper briefly discusses the process of meaning verbalization by children understood as the exponent of meaning shaping. The author, basing upon the consecutive stages of the development of child’s speech presented by Leon Kaczmarek, demonstrates the specific features to be found in each of the stages. The theoretical discussion was completed with a number of examples taken from the author’s own research activity. Additionally, the salience of culture conditioning in the process of gaining of one’s language competence was focused upon.
