There is serious mental effort behind the diversity of child language production. In the
development of such products, appropriate biological factors, speech development, the
development of linguistic consciousness, and social environment surrounding the children
all play an essential role. This study investigates the phenomenon of child etymology among
children in the kindergarten. It also introduces a survey carried out among 3-6 year old children
in the kindergarten. The survey method used in the study enables us to directly investigate the
linguistic products of children, with special attention to the phenomenon of etymologization. The
playfulness of the questionnaire, easily helps the children to relax and be ready to collaborate.
The findings reflect the level of the linguistic consciousness in various age groups, and within
this the examples of the diverse realizations of child etymologization.
