Abstract:

This volume investigates the linguistic development of children with regardto their knowledge of the verb and its grammar. The selection of papersgives empirical evidence from a wide variety of languages including Hebrew,German, Croatian, Japanese, English, Spanish, Dutch, Indonesian, Estonian,Russian and French. Findings are interpreted with a focus oncross-linguistic similarities and differences, without subscribing toeither a UG-based or usage-based approach.

Currently debated topics, such as the role of frequency, as well astraditional ones such as bootstrapping are integrated into the presentationof language-specific, learner-specific and more general properties of theacquisition process.

The papers are united by their focus on discovering what determinesrule-governed behavior in language learners who are coming to terms withthe grammar of verbs.
