How children acquire language, and, in particular, grammar, is a question that has intrigued scholars as well as parents for centuries. How can a young child learn such a complex phenomenon as language? This entry focuses on the early phases of development and presents research on how children gradually uncover the grammar of their target languages. Since most studies have dealt with the development of English, many examples are taken from English, but other languages are considered when possible. Some classical studies are described to introduce the field.
