This book provides new insights into the acquisition of functional
categories in child language. Operating within the Minimalist
Framework (Chomsky 1995) it examines in particular the availability
of Determiner Phrases in the grammar of young children acquiring
Spanish as a first language. The analysis reveals an interaction in
child grammar around the production of bare nominals,
proto-determiners and full determiner phrases. Socarr's performs
both qualitative and quantitative analyses to point to a link
between the development stages children go through, and the
occurrence of these elements in their speech. The work goes on to
address the language acquisition debate between the continuity and
discontinuity hypotheses, aligning the findings with a conclusion
on how best to organise the theory.
