Assessing Semantic-Syntactic Features of Verbs from Thirteen Verb Subsets.

White, Alfred H.

American Annals of the Deaf, v147 n1 p65-77 Mar 2002

This article discusses preliminary research that found that more than 90 percent of sentences written by children or for children contain verbs from 1 of 13 verb semantic-syntactic subsets. A strategy for assessing a child's knowledge of verbs from each subset is described, along with an assessment protocol. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)
