Development of Verb Inflection in First Language Acquisition: A Cross-Linguistic Perspective Studies on Language Acquisition [Sola] The book "Development of Verb Inflection in First Language Acquisition: A Cross-Linguistic Perspective" by Sola is an insightful exploration into the process of how children learn and develop verb inflection in their early years of life. The volume brings together 15 contributions from leading researchers in the field, each analyzing a different language based on parallel longitudinal investigations and macrostructure representation. The primary objective of the book is to understand how children detect morphology and construct their first subsystems of verbal inflection, focusing on the shift from a pre-morphological phase to a proto-morphological phase. The book begins by highlighting the significance of studying the development of verb inflection in first language acquisition, emphasizing the need for a cross-linguistic perspective to gain a comprehensive understanding of this complex process. It then delves into the various aspects of verb inflection, including the emergence of morphology, the role of mini-paradigms, and their relation to morphosyntactic developments in early first language acquisition. The first chapter provides an overview of the current state of research in the field, outlining the main questions that guide the investigation.
