A Note on Indirect Objects

Cook, V. J.

Journal of Child Language, 3, 3, 435-437, Oct 76

This paper reports an investigation into the acquisition of indirect object constructions by English children aged 5-10. Sentences having a prepositional "to" phrase containing the indirect object, and following the direct object, were acquired before sentences where the indirect object preceded the direct object.
