The Use of Reflexive Constructions by Spanish-speaking Children: Differences Across Functions.
Anderson, Raquel T.
Applied Psycholinguistics, v19 n3 p489-512 1998
Monolingual Spanish-speaking children between the ages of 2 and 4 were given two structured tasks that assessed the contrastive use of "se" for coding these functions. Results suggest there is a differential order of acquisition of the clitic "se," whereby children initially contrast regular and reflexive with nonreflexive clitic constructions and later contrast between Romance and non-Romance reflexive verb pairs.
