In\n\nprevious research, children have consistently exhibited non-adultlike behavior for\n\nsentences with adjunct control. To explain children’s behavior, several different\n\ngrammatical accounts have been proposed, but evidence for these accounts has been\n\ninconclusive. In this dissertation, I take two approaches to account for children’s errors.\n\nFirst, I spell out the predictions of previous grammatical accounts, and test these\n\npredictions after accounting for some methodological concerns that might have\n\ninfluenced children’s behavior in previous studies. While I reproduce the non-adultlike\n\nbehavior observed in previous studies, the predictions of previous grammatical\n\naccounts are not borne out, suggesting that extragrammatical factors are needed to\n\nexplain children’s behavior.\n\nNext, I consider the role of two different types of extragrammatical factors in\n\npredicting children’s non-adultlike behavior. With a new task designed to address the\n\ntask demands in previous studies, children exhibit significantly higher accuracy than\n\nwith previous tasks. This suggests that children’s behavior has been influenced by task-\n\nspecific processing factors. In addition to the task, I also test the predictions of a\n\nsimilarity-based interference account, which links children’s errors to the same\n\nmemory mechanisms involved in sentence processing difficulties observed in adults.\n\nThese predictions are borne out, supporting a more continuous developmental\n\ntrajectory as children’s processing mechanisms become more resistant to interference.\n\nFinally, I consider how children’s errors might influence their acquisition of\n\nadjunct control, given the distribution in the linguistic input. I discuss the results of a\n\ncorpus analysis, including the possibility that adjunct control could be learned from the\n\ninput. The kinds of information that could be useful to a learner become much more\n\nlimited, however, after considering the processing limitations that would interfere with\n\nthe representations available to the learner.","descriptionType":"Abstract"}],"geoLocations":[],"fundingReferences":[],"xml":"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","url":"http://drum.lib.umd.edu/handle/1903/18604","contentUrl":null,"metadataVersion":0,"schemaVersion":"http://datacite.org/schema/kernel-2.2","source":null,"isActive":true,"st
