To acquire competence with a natural language, young children must master the grammatical constructions of their language(s).

AbstractThe central goal of Cognitive Grammar (CG) is to describe the structure of particular languages and develop a general framework allowing the optical description of any language. CG is a particular cognitive linguistic theory. Even within cognitive linguistics, it stands out as radical due to certain basic claims, notably that grammar is wholly ...
