Requests, Their Meanings and Aspectual Forms in Early Greek and Russian Child Language
Requests are among the three basic human communicative motives which emerge earliest in ontogeny. The imperative constitutes the prototypical linguistic verb form category for expressing direct requests. In both Modern Greek and Russian, this category is differentiated from other verb forms and most verbs distinguish between perfective and imperfective imperative forms. In the present paper, the perfective and imperfective imperative verb forms o…
On the role of morphological richness in the early development of noun and verb inflection
This study proposes a new methodology for determining the relationship between child-directed speech and child speech in early acquisition. It illustrates the use of this methodology in investigating the relationship between the morphological richness of child-directed speech and the speed of morphological development in child speech. Both variables are defined in terms of mean size of paradigm (MSP) and estimated in a set of longitudinal spontan…
Response to the Review of The Acquisition of Greek Case, Number, and Gender
We are grateful to the editors of the Journal of Greek Linguistics for off ering us the opportunity of clearing up some misunderstandings of our views in the above review of our paper concerning in particular the theoretical approach chosen, some methodological arguments as well as issues in Greek noun classifi cation, gender assignment, and the overall goals of the paper
Development of Nominal Inflection in First Language Acquisition
This book deals with the emergence of nominal morphology from a cross-linguistic perspective and is closely related to Development of Verb Inflection in First Language Acquisition (ed. by D. Bittner, W. U. Dressler, M. Kilani-Schoch) both methodologically and theoretically. Each of the fourteen contributions studies the early development of the fundamental inflectionally expressed categories of the noun (number, case, gender) in one of the langua…
On the early development of aspect in Greek and Russian child language, a comparative analysis
The category of aspect is grammaticized in both Greek and Russian opposing perfective and imperfective verb forms in all inflectional categories except the nonpast (‘present’). Despite these similarities there are important differences in the way the aspectual systems function in the two languages. While in Greek nearly all verbs oppose a perfective to a given imperfective grammatical form, Russian aspect is more strongly lexicalized with pairs o…
