In two studies I analyse what evidence in the input could guide children in figuring out agents and patients in causative transitives (Study 1), and which cues children pay attention to in understanding who does what to whom in an experimental context (Study 2).</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace;"><br></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace;"><br></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace;">In Study 1 I analysed 13229 verb-containing utterances in Italian to establish which sentence frames Italian children actually hear in child-directed-speech (CDS) when both the subject and the object are overtly expressed. The three most frequent frames in the corpus were Subject-Verb-Object (Noun-Verb-Noun), Subject-Object-Verb (N-Object Clitic-Verb), and Object-Verb-Subject (Object Clitic-Verb-Noun).</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace;"><br></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace;"><br></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace;">In study 2, Italian preschoolers (2;1, 2;6, 3;6 and 4;6) heard transitives with novel verbs in the three most frequent word orders found with overt subjects and objects in CDS. For each trial they chose between two video clips (e.g., horse acting on cat versus cat acting on horse). 2½-year-olds only pointed above chance (70%) with SOV. Only the 4½-year-olds pointed above chance (78%) with SVO. All age groups pointed at chance for OVS.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace;"><br></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace;"><br></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace;">The findings are discussed in terms of cue competition between the predominant Verb-Noun and Object-Clitic-Verb frames used to express Italian active transitives.</span><br><br></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><div><br></div><div>Très cordialement,</div><div><br><br></div><div><br></div><div>Edy Veneziano</div></span></div></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate;font-family: Arial;font-variant: normal;font-weight: normal;letter-spacing: normal;text-indent: 0px;text-transform: none;white-space: normal;word-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate;font-family: Arial;font-variant: normal;font-weight: normal;letter-spacing: normal;text-indent: 0px;text-transform: none;white-space: normal;word-spacing: 0px;"><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate;font-family: Arial;font-variant: normal;font-weight: normal;letter-spacing: normal;text-indent: 0px;text-transform: none;white-space: normal;word-spacing: 0px;"><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate;font-family: Arial;font-variant: normal;font-weight: normal;letter-spacing: normal;text-indent: 0px;text-transform: none;white-space: normal;word-spacing: 0px;"><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate;font-family: Arial;font-variant: normal;font-weight: normal;letter-spacing: normal;text-indent: 0px;text-transform: none;white-space: normal;word-spacing: 0px;"><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate;font-family: Arial;font-variant: normal;font-weight: normal;letter-spacing: normal;text-indent: 0px;text-transform: none;white-space: normal;word-spacing: 0px;"><div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;"><div><div style="font-size: medium;font-style: normal;"><div style="font-style: normal;font-size: 13px;"><i>Professeur des Universités</i></div><div style="font-style: normal;font-size: 13px;"><i>Institut de Psychologie</i></div><div style="font-style: normal;font-size: 13px;"><i>Université Paris Descartes-CNRS, </i><i>MoDyCo, UMR 7114</i></div></div></div></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;font-family: Arial;font-size: medium;"><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace;font-size: 14px;"><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';font-size: 15px;color: rgb(9, 24, 193);"><a href="http://www.modyco.fr/?labmemberinfo=veneziano&u_s=2&u_a=22&">http://www.modyco.fr/veneziano</a></span></div></span></div></span></span></div></div></span><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></div></span><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></div></span><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></div></span><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></div></span><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></span><br class="Apple-interchange-newline">
