En este artículo se revisan algunas cuestiones sobre el desarrollo del lenguaje de referencia mental. Se presentan y analizan algunos trabajos sobre la comprensión de los niños de las propiedades de factividad y de certidumbre, así como sus problemas con la distinción entre significado literal y pretendido. También se analizan las relaciones entre el desarrollo del lenguaje mentalista y el desarrollo del proceso de lecto-escritura. Se analizan los resultados en el marco de los modelos de inferencia mentalista de ‘teoría de la mente’.
