Subject-Auxillary Inversion Errors and Wh Question Acquisition: What Children Do Know.
Rowland, Caroline F.; Pine, Julian M.
Journal of Child Language, v27 n1 p157-81 Feb 2000
Analyzed correct wh-question production and subject-auxiliary inversion errors in one child's wh-question data. Argues that two current movement rule accounts cannot explain patterning of early wh-questions. Data can be explained by the child's knowledge of particular lexically-specific wh-word+auxiliary combinations, and inversion and universion patterns predicted from relative frequencies of these combinations in the mother's speech.
