he walked BY the river vs. he was pushed BY the boy

[Professor Annette Karmiloff-Smith]

I am sure this must have been done, but could people kindly direct me
to studies of children's acquisition of terms like by, in their
semantic, spatial meaning vs. their grammatical meaning. He went TO
school at 8 and returned from school at 4 vs. He had TO go.  etc.
Many thanks,
Annette
