Overview

"Causative change-of-state verbs like ""to open"", ""to fill"", and ""to wake"" are central to both recent theories of grammatical development and theories of lexical structure. This book focuses on how German-speaking children learn the meaning of change-of-state verbs. It offers a thorough characterization of the acquisition of German, embedded in a crosslinguistic perspective. The author provides a comprehensive review of the acquisition literature on that topic and introduces a new account as to how the meaning of those verbs can be learned. The empirical backbone of the investigation is a set of carefully designed experimental studies."
