Abstract. The article considers the question of the influence of colloquial adult speech on the process of language acquisition by children. As the most typical traits of the described spheres of speech are stylized in the character’s speech portrait and it is possible to consider the presented and real infant speech as equal, the authors of this paper are aiming to show by the material of the English-language literary prose that many so-called children’s speech mistakes are often just imitation of adult colloquial speech production.
