Shanley E.M. Allen: Aspects of Argument Structure in Acquisition in Inuktitu

Shanley E.M. Allen: Aspects of Argument Structure in Acquisition in Inuktitu Abstract Allen's book is a linguistic approach to language acquisition, focusing on the acquisition of certain structures; Allen concentrates on how Inuktitut children acquire passive, causative, and noun incorporation, i.e. three argument-structure-changing operations. Allen's theoretical framework is that of ‘Principles and Parameters’, but as this is the first investigation proper of Inuktitut language acquisition, she explicitly emphasizes description. (This explains why more detailed theoretical comments and discussions are put away in the extensive notes.) The theory of grammar is taken for granted and serves as basis for the analysis and discussion of the empirical data. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Acta Linguistica Hafniensia: International Taylor & Francis

Abstract

Abstract Allen's book is a linguistic approach to language acquisition, focusing on the acquisition of certain structures; Allen concentrates on how Inuktitut children acquire passive, causative, and noun incorporation, i.e. three argument-structure-changing operations. Allen's theoretical framework is that of ‘Principles and Parameters’, but as this is the first investigation proper of Inuktitut language acquisition, she explicitly emphasizes description. (This explains why more detailed theoretical comments and discussions are put away in the extensive notes.) The theory of grammar is taken for granted and serves as basis for the analysis and discussion of the empirical data.
