Investigations in Universal Grammar: A Guide to Experiments on the Acquisition of Syntax and Semantics

Product Description
This introductory guide to language acquisition research is presented within the framework of Universal Grammar, a theory of the human faculty for language. The authors focus on two experimental techniques for assessing childrens linguistic competence: the Elicited Production task, a production task, and the Truth Value Judgment task, a comprehension task. Their methodologies are calculated to overcome the numerous obstacles to empirical investigation of childrens language competence. They yield research consequences that are more reproducible and less likely to be dismissed as an artifact of improper experimental course of action. In the first section of the book, the authors examine the fundamental assumptions that guide research in this area; they bestow both a theory of linguistic competence and a develop of language processing. In the following two sections, they discuss in detail their two experimental techniques.
