Most research on children's lexical development has focused on
their acquisition of names for concrete objects. This is the first
edited volume to focus specifically on how children acquire their
early verbs. Verbs are an especially important part of the early
lexicon because of the role they play in children's emerging
grammatical competence. The contributors to this book investigate:
* children's earliest words for actions and events and the
cognitive structures that might underlie them, * the possibility
that the basic principles of word learning which apply in the case
of nouns might also apply in the case of verbs, and the role of
linguistic context, especially argument structure, in the
acquisition of verbs. A central theme in many of the chapters is
the comparison of the processes of noun and verb learning. Several
contributors make provocative suggestions for constructing theories
of lexical development that encompass the full range of lexical
items that children learn and use.
