Routes to Verb Placement in Early German and French: The Independence of Finiteness and Agreement

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Studies in Theoretical Psycholinguistics ((SITP,volume 16))

Abstract

What is innate and what is learned is one of the questions underlying most current work in first language acquisition. The challenge in this field is to develop a theory that accounts for the learnability problems involved in the domain at hand, that makes correct empirical predictions, and leaves room for variation between children exactly in the domains where variation occurs.
