Based on longitudinal corpora of five children acquiring Modern Greek as their first language, it describes the development of single DPs consisting of definite and indefinite articles, complex DPs that require the use of multiple definite articles - possessive constructions, appositive constructions and Determiner Spreading, a form of adjectival modification - and number and case marking in nouns and definite articles. Detailed quantitative and qualitative analyses show an incremental development of the DP. The findings address the debate concerning maturation versus continuity. Incremental acquisition of the DP argues in favour of a weak continuity approach to language acquisition. Whilst gradual acquisition of the DP remains unexplained within the Principles and Parameters Theory, it is fully compatible within Minimalism, as it is argued to result from the gradual acquisition of the features associated with the Greek DP. 410 0$aLanguage acquisition & language disorders ;$vv. 31. 606 $aGreek language, Modern$xDeterminers 606 $aGreek language, Modern$xNoun phrase 615 0$aGreek language, Modern$xDeterminers. 615 0$aGreek language, Modern$xNoun phrase. 676 $a489/.3/019 700 $aMarinis$b Theodoros$01629622 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910819113203321 996 $aThe Acquisition of the DP in Modern Greek$93967467 997 $aUNINA
