Lingua, 2007
In this paper we report the results of an elicited imitation task on dative case marking in non-canonical double object constructions with 22 German children (3;9–6;8). The aim was to test the proficiency of the children's grammar and to see which strategies they use to produce ditransitive sentences in which the direct object precedes the indirect ...

Levels of representation in child grammar
The Linguistic Review, 1999An account by Lebeaux (1988) of children's errors in comprehension and their non-adult productions suggests that the source of difficulty is the processing system. The claim is that children sometimes generate shallow representations, and thus they may not compute the level at which a particular constraint occurs.

Effectiveness of Intervention for Grammar in School-Aged Children With Primary Language Impairments: A Review of the Evidence [PDF]
Child Language Teaching and Therapy, 2014 This article summarizes the evidence as regards the effectiveness of therapy for grammar for school-aged children with language impairments. I first review studies focusing on specific areas of grammar (both expressive and receptive targets) and then ...

Clarification and the child's learning of grammar
Language Sciences, 1984Abstract The notion of clarification in language addressed to children was introduced by Ferguson, following a distinction made by Hockett between what he called frequency and clarity norms. The term is intended by Ferguson to be a descriptive label for some of the characteristics of motherese, but it has functional implications. If mothers ‘clarify’

The transition to grammar in a bilingual child
International Journal of Bilingualism, 1999Recent work on the transition into grammar in children acquiring English has pointed up the role of rote-learned "positional patterns," arguing that both nativist approaches based on Universal Grammar and constructivist approaches assuming semantic underpinnings are unnecessary or inadequate to account for the data.

Computations at the interfaces in child grammar
2014The paper investigates the operations regulating grammar on the basis of experimental child data, and suggests that there are significant computational differences in the acquisition of single interface phenomena and multiple interface phenomena. This finding has direct implications for the precise mechanisms and nature of a learnability account ...

Binding principles and ACD constructions in child grammars
Syntax, 2004. Antecedent-contained deletion (ACD) constructions have been the focus of much recent literature in linguistic theory. These constructions have been instrumental in arguments against dispensing with the operation of Quantifier Raising (QR) and a level of Logical Form (LF) (e.g., May 1985; Fiengo & May 1994; Fox 1999, 2000).

The acquisition of time talk: relations between child and adult grammars
Journal of Child Language, 1980ABSTRACTA Reichenbach-type theory is proposed that accounts for a child's early system of temporal reference and relates it directly to the adult system. This theory makes predictions different from those of a competing theory, a strong decentring hypothesis. Experimental results and data from spontaneous speech are examined, and the predictions of the
