Abstract
The research project focuses on the acquisition of linguistic concepts by primary school pupils from the linguistic and linguodidactic viewpoints. Within the project we examine the ways in which pupils acquire the issues of linguistic concepts and attempt to understand the rules by means of which they adopt these terms.
We analyse the thought processes of younger pupils in exploring linguistic concepts, and describe the processes by which pupils recognise linguistic terms within the broader context. We further propose an algorithm applicable to the identification of linguistic concepts.
Thereafter, we work with linguistic terms that are a formulation of the respective linguistic concepts. We also investigate children's preconceptions, which are an integral part of learning problems in the linguistic field.
