Peer reviewedLakshmanan, Usha; Selinker, Larry – Second Language Research, 1994
Examined the development of the complementizer system in the second-language learning of two four-year olds, providing evidence which suggests that the tensed complimentizer in embedded declaratives may be treated as a obligatorily null complimentizer by these children. Also examined restrictive relative clauses produced by the two subjects. (MDM)
