Subject: Adjectives, General Linguistics and Acquisition


Does anyone know of any studies on: 1.a the cross-linguistic description of adjectives referring to internal physical states (e.g. thirsty, hungry, full etc) 1.b The acquisition (incl. comprehension and production) of these adjectives by children

2.a the cross-linguistic description of adjectives describing tastes (e.g sweet, sour, bitter etc) 2.b the acquisition of these adjectives (incl. comprehension and production) by children

Thanks in advance for your help. If there are enough replies, I will post a summary.

Best,
