Abstract:

Ergativity is one of the main challenges both for linguistic and acquisition
theories. This book is unique, taking a cross-linguistic approach to the
acquisition of ergativity in a large variety of typologically distinct
languages. The chapters cover languages from different families and from
different geographic areas with different expressions of ergativity. Each
chapter includes a description of ergativity in the language(s), the nature of
the input, the social context of acquisition and developmental patterns.
Comparisons of the acquisition process across closely related languages are
made, change in progress of the ergative systems is discussed and, for one
language, acquisition by bilingual and monolingual children is compared. The
volume will be of particular interest to language acquisition researchers,
linguists, psycholinguists and cognitive scientists.
