Abrosimova N.

The article proves that the specificity of language games in children's poetic texts is determined by their orientation on the peculiarities of children's speech development and by the author's prediction as to how the child reader will perceive the form and meaning of the relevant game techniques. The linguistic analysis of the German language material shows that the author's novelties in the fiction text for pre-school and primary school children imitate the heuristic nature of children's mental and speech innovations.
