Flavia-

There's also my dissertation (and associated papers), which investigated
the acquisition of novel verbs describing causative events in transitive
and unaccusative frames. The dissertation is accessible here:
http://www.sas.upenn.edu/~bungerac/Publications_files/Bunger%202006.pdf

And here's a brief summary published in Language Acquisition:
http://www.sas.upenn.edu/~bungerac/Publications_files/Bunger%202008%20%28LA%29.pdf

This paper from the BUCLD conference proceedings describes an early version
of the study that includes a condition in which novel verbs were presented
in both frames of the causative alternation in the same trial:
