<div>Hi,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I generally agree with John's point: tense marking and the appropriate use of object clitics reflect different aspects of the grammar. You will find relevant discussions in the many papers that have contrasted subject and object clitics in the acquisition of French by Cornelia Hamman, Celia Jacubowicz, Geraldine Legendre, Marie-Therese Lenormand, Joanne Paradis, Phaedra Royle and my own on the acquisition of French SE (accessible at <a href="http://www.yeled.org/res.asp">www.yeled.org/res.asp</a>) in addition to the works cited below by John. <br>
<br>To the best of my knowledge the literature on the acquisition of Spanish and Italian also demontrate the realtively late acquisition of object clitics, in relation to tense marking- see the many papers by Bottari for Italian and on Spanish See the chapter by L.M. Bedore Morphosyntactic Development and references cited therein in B.A. Goldstein (2004) Bilingual Language Development and Disorders in Spanish-English Speakers. </div>

<div>Best,</div>

<div>See "General and specific effects of lexicon in grammar: Determiner and object pronoun omissions in child Spanish" by Pérez-Leroux, Castilla & Brunner in Journal of Speech, Language and Hearing Research.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>It does not address the development of tense, which is likely to be relatively independent of the lexicon in its development (See Rice, Wexler and Hershberger 1998; Rice, Wexler and Redmond 1999), but it shows convincingly that missing objects are attributable to children's developing lexical knowledge (i.e whether a verb is optionally or obligatorily transitive is lexical knowledge of that verb), and not to their syntactic knowledge.</div>

<div>On the view I am suggesting, the two types of errors you mention stem from different types of knowledge development.</div>
