Acquisition of Syntax

<p>This volume contains a collection of studies that survey recent research in developmental linguistics illustrating the fruitful interaction between comparative syntax and language acquisition. The contributors each analyse a well defined range of acquisition data aiming to derive them from primitive differences between child and adult grammar. The book covers cross-linguistic and cross-categorial phenomena shedding light on major developments in this novel and rapidly growing field. Extensions to second language acquisition and neuropathology are also suggested.</p>
