"Syntactic Development" presents a broad critical survey of the
research literature on child language development. Giving balanced
coverage to both theoretical and empirical issues, William O'Grady
constructs an up-to-date picture of how children acquire the syntax
of English.
Part 1 offers an overview of the developmental data pertaining to a
range of syntactic phenomena, including word order, subject drop,
embedded clauses, wh-questions, inversion, relative clauses,
passives, and anaphora. Part 2 considers the various theories that
have been advanced to explain the facts of development as well as
the learnability problem, reporting on work in the mainstream
formalist framework but also considering the results of alternative
approaches.
Covering a wide range of perspectives in the modern study of
syntactic development, this book is an invaluable reference for
specialists in the field of language acquisition and provides an
excellent introduction to the acquisition of syntax for students
and researchers in psychology, linguistics, and cognitive science.
