<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">At this moment we are designing an experiment to elicit the various forms of the verbal agreement paradigm in monolingual Dutch children ranging in age between 3 and 6. Our aim is to collect longitudinal and cross-sectional data from the different age groups. We would like to ask whether anyone knows of a technique to elicit 1<SUP>st</SUP> and 2<SUP>nd</SUP> person singular (present tense). It is crucial that children use the 1<SUP>st</SUP> and 2<SUP>nd</SUP> person singular pronoun (and that they do not use proper names instead!) and that the children use both the inflected verb as well as the pronoun. </FONT></SPAN></P>
<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">We are grateful for any hints, comments and literature suggestions. </FONT></SPAN></P>
