 Functional Categories and V2 Phenomena in Language Acquisition; 464
 pp.;HB Set 0-7923-1906-0; Kluwer Academic, Email vanderLindenwkap.nl
The twelve original contributions in this volume all focus on the question
of whether developing grammars contain, at each stage of language
acquisition, the full range of functional categories such as INFL, AGR, or
COMP. The studies presented here investigate monolingual and bilingual first
language and, in one case, adult second language acquisition.

This book contains articles on the theory, acquisition and processing of
island constraints. The book is unique in taking an interdisciplinary

linguistic debates since the 1960's.
