Research Abstract

This study aims to explore the acquisition of transitive-intransitive alternations and middle verbs in English based on the view of cognitive linguistics and construction grammar. The method employed here is to observe children's and their caregivers' utterances accommodated in CHILDES and analyze their use of unaccusative intransitive verbs. As a result, it has been shown that the early usages of unaccusative verbs both by children and by adults emerge as middle verbs, and that adults' utterances of the unaccusative verbs include some devices which help children acquire novel usages : extremely frequent use of the same token(i. e. skewed input), and embedding into a specific construction. These results of the investigation suggest an aspect of the formation of a grammatical construction, that is, the development of the middle and unaccusative constructions out of transitive constructions.
