A child’s view of Romance modification

Abstract: Languages vary as to what kind of phrasal categories allow recursive iteration of self-same embedding. Children first learn an embedding rule, then must learn whether the rule can apply recursively or not. However, direct experience of recursive embedding is rare in the input. A study of recursive nominal modification in Spanish show children acquire different types of modification (possession, part-whole relations) at different times even if these are expressed with the same preposition de. This suggest that … Show more

“…Our review of the previous literature suggests that simple use of modifiers ( no ) and of relative clauses enter the speech of young Japanese children very early. While there is no documentation on initial use of recursive structures in Japanese, studies from other languages indicate that children first start to use recursive descriptions around the age of four (Pérez-Leroux et al 2012, Roberge et al 2018, Giblin et al 2018, for English; Roberge et al 2018, for French; Pérez-Leroux (2022), for Spanish; Pérez-Leroux et al 2021, for German). In these studies, many four-year-old children still do not produce any form of recursive modification, but rates grow substantively over time.…”
