Emergent Uses of BE and DO: Evidence from Children with Specific Language Impairment.

Hadley, Pamela A.; Rice, Mabel L.

Language Acquisition, v5 n3 p209-243 1996

Examines the use of finiteness markers copula "BE" and auxiliaries "BE" and "DO" in the spontaneous speech of children with specific language impairment. Focus is on whether the categorical distinctions between main verbs and auxiliaries and/or between the auxiliary types influence the relative order of emergence among these forms.
