causative alternation

[Pine, Julian]

Hi Flavia,
Not sure whether these are the kind of studies you had in mind, but they all focus on the causative:

Ambridge, B., Pine, J. M., & Rowland, C. F. (2011). Children use verb semantics to retreat from overgeneralization errors: A novel verb grammaticality judgment study. Cognitive Linguistics, 22(2), 303-323.
Ambridge, B., Pine, J. M., Rowland, C. F., & Young, C. R. (2008). The effect of verb semantic class and verb frequency (entrenchment) on children's an adults' graded judgements of argument-structure overgeneralization errors. Cognition, 106(1), 87-129.
Naigles, L. G., Fowler, A., & Helm, A. (1992). Developmental Shifts in the Construction of Verb Meanings. Cognitive Development, 7, 403-427.
Naigles, L. R., and Lehrer, N. (2002). Language-general and language-specific influences on children’s acquisition of argument structure: a comparison of French and English. Journal of Child Langauge, 29, 545-566.

Dear all,
is anyone aware of experimental studies with children on the comprehension of verbs which present the causative alternation?
Many thanks in advance,
Flavia Adani
