In this volume scholars honor M. Rita Manzini for her contributions
to the field of Generative Morphosyntax. The essays in this book
celebrate her career by continuing to explore inter-area research
in linguistics and by pursuing a broad comparative approach,
investigating and comparing different languages and dialects.

This book presents theoretical and experimental analyses of the
nature of early verbs. At around the age of two years old, children
start to combine words and produce their first verbs. Verbal items
appear later than nouns in a child's speech and refer to the
relational concepts in the world that are represented in syntax
through the argument structure. The central set of data
investigated here is based on the analysis of the features of first
verbal productions in Italian. Since the appearance of verbs
implies the mastery of a mapping procedure between syntactic
positions and semantic roles, the syntactic regularities found for
each lexical verb class suggest that the relation at the
syntax-semantics interface is well-established early on. The
non-adult-like sentences are those which involve the mastery of the
scope-discourse semantic interface or higher functional syntactic
categories. The analysis of the delay in the production and
comprehension of some constructions here uncovers some general
characteristics of language acquisition devices.
