Language-specific and Language-general in Developing Syntax.

Dromi, Esther; Berman, Ruth A.

Journal of Child Language, v13 n2 p371-87 Jun 1986

The distribution of a small number of syntactic structures in the speech output of 102 Israeli preschoolers was examined. Findings are reported on the proportion of grammatically analyzable clauses, the patterning of word order in Hebrew child language, and the emergence of syntactic connectedness through coordination and subordination of clauses.
