Differences across languages -- Chapter 6. Developmental patterns -- Chapter 7. Discussion -- BackmatterThe book provides a theoretical and empirical evaluation of a field that has been the focus of generative theories on language acquisition: the acquisition of finiteness and related properties such as root infinitives, verb movement and null subjects. It contains a critical empirical assessment of the various hypotheses, lists the implications for linguistic theory and provides alternative analyses. Issues covered are: (i) the semantics of children's root infinitives (tense, modality and aspect), (ii) the relation between lexical, morphological and syntactic development in the domain of finiteStudies in generative grammar ;94.Cognition in childrenGermanic languagesAcquisitionGrammar, Comparative and generalVerbLanguage acquisitionElectronic books.Cognition in children.Germanic languagesAcquisition.Grammar, Comparative and generalVerb.Language acquisition.415/.6HF 285rvkBlom Elma1972-906047MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910453974303321The acquisition of finiteness2450210UNINA
