Peer reviewedLempert, Henrietta – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1984
Reports outcomes of three experiments in which children were taught a sentence form that they did not as yet understand. Investigates whether (1) acquisition of word order relations for sentence form would be affected by pragmatic ordering principles and (2) whether referent animacy would be included in children's rules for word order.
