    2. Acquisition of inflections
      1. Predictable patterns
        1. Revealed by research in acquisition of inflections
        2. Grammatical function words
        3. Brown 1973
          1. Study - 20 - 30 month olds exhibited sequence

                        1. 1. Memorize words individually.. No regard for rules
                          1. 2. Awareness of gen princ govting inflections
                            1. 3. OVER - GENERALIZATION

                                  1. How do children produce grammatically accurate constructions so early in their development?
                                  2. Rules??
                                    1. Imitation??
                                    2. Berko 1958

                                              1. 4 Yrs = 'Wugs'
                                                1. Grammatical rule for plural 's' clearly being applied
                                                2. Overgeneralisation
                                                  1. 2 1/2 - 5 yrs
                                                    1. Grammatical errors - show awareness of rules
                                                    2. They 'overgen / overregularize', trying to make lang more consistent than it is

                                                          1. Although children apply grammatical rules this way, they are NOT conscious they have acquired them & wouldn't be able to explain
                                                            1. = NO METALINGUISTIC AWARENESS
                                                          2. Qs

                                                              1. Research
                                                                1. Suggests 3 stages involved in acquiring this skill

                                                                    2. 2. Second yr

                                                                        1. = 'Where daddy gone?'
                                                                      2. 3. Third yr

                                                                    3. Therefore
                                                                      1. 'Joe is here' becomes 'Is Joe here?'

                                                                      3. Negation

                                                                            1. 1. Single dependence on words 'no' & 'not' used independently or in front of expressions - 'no want' & 'no go bed'

                                                                                2. 3. More neg forms acquired 'didn't' & 'isn't'.
                                                                                  1. Neg constructions not gen more accurate
