Apologies - I intended to e-mail Anat, but responded to her e-mail below and inadvertently e-mailed the whole list!

Dear List,

Sorry to have sent this to the whole list by mistake, but actually I'd love to hear from anybody who knows of studies that can be said to test the hypothesis that children learn syntax by "pragmatic bootstrapping".

Thanks,

Anat Ninio

Hi Nameera,

Thanks a lot!  Absolutely coincidentally this very minute I'm reading your 2008 (or is it 2009?) encyclopedia entry

Akhtar, N., & Herold, K. (2008). Pragmatic development. In M. M. Haith & J. B. Benson (Eds.), Encyclopedia of infant and early childhood development, Vol. 2 (pp. 572-581). San Diego, CA: Academic Press.
which I want to cite for a research proposal for an European grant. First, is it 2008 or 2009? Second, you say
"We know of no empirical research, however, that has directly addressed the question of whether children learn syntactic constructions in the same way as they learn words; that is,  through "pragmatic bootstrapping" or attention to speakers' intentions." (p.319)
Would you still say so? Or is there some new study that you know of that I should mention? Any newer publication of yours on this point?

Thanks a lot and see you in SRCD for sure,

Anat

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

I'm very happy to be able to announce the publication of my new book by Oxford University Press.  It is entitled   "Syntactic development, its input and output" and a description of it, as well as a link to the Introduction, can be found on the publisher's on-line catalogue at http://ukcatalogue.oup.com/product/9780199565962.do

I hope you'll like it!
