Can Children Use a Verb without Exposure to Its Argument Structure?
Braine, Martin D. S.; And Others
Journal of Child Language, v17 n2 p313-42 Jun 1990
A study was undertaken to test the theory that canonical sentence schemas can sometimes assign argument structure to verbs. The theory has the advantage of explaining errors without postulating the acquisition of erroneous lexical entries that have to be learned, and it can be extended to other kinds of errors in the choice and placement of arguments.
