S ummary . This paper presents normative data on the comprehension of kin terms by children, which is then examined in terms of the Piagetian hypothesis that language acquisition is dependent on cognitive development in the child. The order in which kin terms were comprehended followed a definite pattern in terms of the sorts of relationships which were involved, the number of relational components in the terms and the cognitive demands that the comprehension of these relationships made on the child. These data seemed to support the Piagetian position, and particular cognitive operations which appeared to relate causally to the development of kin terms were discussed
