It elaborates on a young girl’s transition to adulthood from

As the persona comforts his lover, Donne’s message emerges as he argues that separation between lovers should not be any cause for anguish, for any truly substantial bond cannot be shattered nor weakened by any physical

age ranged from 2.6 years to 6 years participated in the present study. They were divided into 3 groups with 10 children in each group divided in one year interval. Totally 160 meaningful di-syllabic and tri-syllabic words in combination of 18 consonants, 10 vowels and two dipthongs in initial, medial and final positions were used to assess.
