Research Description
In every human language, a complex grammatical system underlies the social act of communication. Yet almost every child acquires this system in just a few short years, an impressive cognitive feat. In fact, recent evidence suggests that young infants possess the beginnings of grammatical knowledge well before they are producing multi-word utterances. Yet very little is known about the earliest stages of this process of grammatical acquisition. My research program examines what infants know about the grammar of their language, and how they acquire it.
