Verb-Second languages like  German and Dutch display the verb-final pattern in embedded clauses,  which can be confusing for a developing child. This book addresses  this problem in the context of Swiss German, itself a Germanic  dialect. \u003cbr\u003e  Numerous examples are given of natural language produced by two  children who were consistently followed between the ages of 4 and 6.  Unexpectedly, since previous literature has suggested that children  master verb placement very early in their linguistic development,  these children move the verb in any type of embedded clause, leading  to many verb-placement errors. \u003cbr\u003e  After introducing the problem and describing the data in detail, a  technical analysis is developed in terms of a minimally split-CP,  which is rather successful in accounting for these data. \u003cbr\u003e  The book should interest advanced students and researchers in both  language acquisition and syntax.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2001-08-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792370864\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-010-0798-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 229cm x152cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 412\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45378897445004,"sku":"9780792370864","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792370864.jpg?v=1770782141","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792370864","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
