Different Rates of Pronoun Case Error: Comments on Rispoli (1998).
Schutze, Carson T.
Journal of Child Language, v26 n3 p749-55 Oct 1999
Discusses Rispoli's data on a model of pronoun case errors in child English, arguing that his claim that overextensions of he and him are antagonistic is inaccurate and his explanation for why her subjects are more frequent than other errors is insufficient. Discusses an account in terms of relative input frequencies, suggesting the fundamental assumption underlying Rispoli's model is untenable. (SM)
