| Research Abstract |
This project views the language variation through the window of grammar acquisition. Based on the descriptive study of the typical errors children produce, i.e., Root Infinitive (analogues), Case-marking errors, erroneous verbal forms, and the overgeneration in Noun Phrases, we proposed that children know a great deal about the morpho-syntactic properties and the functional structure of their language at a very early age, and even if children produce erroneous sentences, children's intermediate acquisition stages are restricted within the permitted variation of human languages.
