Input-Output Relations in Hebrew Verb Acquisition at the Morpho-lexical Interface
Ashkenazi, Orit; Gillis, Steven; Ravid, Dorit
Journal of Child Language, v47 n3 p509-532 May 2020
This study examined early Hebrew verb acquisition, highlighting CDS-CS relations across inflectional and derivational verb learning. It was carried out on a corpus of longitudinal dense dyadic interactions of two Hebrew-speaking toddlers aged 1;8-2;2 and their parents. Findings revealed correlated patterns within and between CDS and CS corpora in terms of verbs, structural root categories, and their components (roots, "binyan" conjugations, and derivational verb families), and clear relations between lexical-derivational development and inflectional growth in input-output relations, measured by MSP. It also showed that both corpora had few, yet highly semantically coherent, derivational families. Lexical learning in Hebrew was shown to be morphologically oriented, with both inflectional and derivational learning supporting and being supported by the development of the verb lexicon. These findings support findings in the general literature regarding the close relationship between parental input and child speech, and the affinity between lexical and grammatical growth.
