S ummary . The fourth instalment of a longitudinal study of linguistic development is reported. The current research concerns the children's skill in written composition at 10 years of age. Their work is assessed in various ways (by the ‘subordination index,’ vocabulary studies, and impression ratings). The results are correlated with other linguistic measures currently or previously established, and with non‐verbal intelligence. The children's adjustment is also considered.
