This study examined developmental changes in types and tokens of inflectional morphemes produced among 214 typically developing Kannada-speaking preschool children and their parents. Inflectional use was elicited through a story retelling task and analyzed in child's and parental speech. Results showed developmental increase in both types and tokens of inflectional morphology production in children, indicating that preschool years constitute an important phase of inflectional systems in Kannada, an agglutinative language. Parental inflectional production remained relatively stable across age groups, while only the variety of parental inflections significantly predicted children's output, emphasizing the role of input richness over frequency. Children produced high functional load markers (namely dative case, tense, and person-number-gender agreement), more frequently than optional or irregular forms.

Researchers manually coded 9750 SPP instances from sociolinguistic interviews and administered standardized tests of morphosyntax, lexicon, inhibition, working memory (WM), and attention. The investigation had two aims: (1) to replicate prior findings on SPP constraints and (2) to evaluate the contributions of linguistic and EF abilities to third-person pronoun expression. Mixed-effects binary logistic regressions confirmed three common constraints on SPP use: the first-person singular, the imperfect tense, and switch-reference contexts, replicating previous studies’ results. Although initial correlations linked EF measures to SPP expression, multiple regression analyses revealed that morphosyntactic abilities accounted for the unique variance in pronoun expression. Thus, in this sample, children’s language-internal morphosyntactic abilities are better related to third-person singular pronoun expression than our tests of inhibition, attention, and WM.","PeriodicalId":48132,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Child Language","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148898901","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Twenty children (ages 8 to 9) were exposed in a CSSL study to an artificial language comprising nouns, verbs, and case markers occurring within a verb-final grammatical structure. Children acquired syntax (i.e., word order) effectively, but we found no evidence of vocabulary learning, whereas previous adult studies showed learning of both from similar input. Grammatical information may thus be available early for children, to help constrain and support later vocabulary learning.
