Children's Over-Regularization of Nouns and Verbs.
Cox, Maureen V.
Journal of Child Language, v16 n1 p203-06 Feb 1989
Investigation of four- through six-year-olds' abilities to correct over-regularized plural nouns and verbs in the past tense showed that, generally, older children performed better than the younger children, and plural nouns were corrected significantly more than past-tense verb forms. Younger children were better at correcting the nouns than the verbs, while older children corrected verbs and nouns equally well. (Author/CB)
