Abstract:

This book provides a number of studies of different aspects of Swedish
child language. Some of the thematic chapters present original,
unpublished data: on the acquisition of tense, on the range and
frequency of different word order patterns in early child Swedish,
related to the input, meaning the language of adults talking to the
children or in the presence of the children. The remaining chapters
present overviews of previous research: on the acquisition of word
formation rules, the noun phrase, and wh-questions. The introduction
to this volume contains a concise overview of the basic features of
Swedish grammar and a comprehensive overview of different Swedish
child language corpora. The main body of research proceeds within a
generative framework, but the text is designed to be accessible to
researchers of different theoretical paradigms.
