| Abstract | The distinction between core and peripheral grammar made in government-binding theory sheds light on some questions concerning the acquisition of the inflectional morphology of different languages. The schedule for acquisition of the inflectional system may be determined not by the learning of particular affixes but by whether inflection is a core or peripheral property of the grammar being acquired. There is a striking difference between languages concerning this property. This would explain the early acquisition of the morpheme "-ing" in English but the relatively late acquisition of other inflectional morphemes in the somewhat impoverished inflectional system of English. It is the degree of deviation from the core grammar rather than the intuitive complexity of the data that accounts for the relative ease or difficulty of acquisition. The theory would also explain the phenomenon, occurring in languages with rich inflectional systems, of children's avoidance of zero morpheme affixation. Evidence of these processes also appears in such diverse languages as Polish, Italian, Serbo-Croatian, Russian, Hebrew, and American Sign Language. This view of markedness as peripheral in one language and part of the core grammar in another is unusual and should be further tested in other languages. (MSE) |
