I can't cite a study, BUT i can point you at a PoS-tagged and parsed corpus of spontaneous child speech at ages 6, 8, 10, and 12; with cohorts<br>
subdivided by sex (B,G) and socio-economic class (A,B,C,D): the PoW Polytechnic of Wales Corpus, see<br>

<br>
You could use PoW to count rates of auxiliaries and singular/present -s<br>
for yourself...<br><font color="#888888">

Hello! Does anyone know of a study on the rate of production of auxiliaries based on a corpus of spontaneous child speech? I'm also looking for this sort of study regarding 3rd singular/present tense -s marking in English.<br>
Many thanks for your feedback on this!<br>
Stephanie.<br>
