Arguments against Hurford's "Aux Copying Rule"

Kuczaj, Stan A., II

Journal of Child Language, 3, 3, 423-427, Oct 76

In a previous paper, J. Hurford accounts for errors in children's question forms by postulating that children incorrectly internalize adult rules. This article suggests that this rule is inconsistent and unjestified, and that such errors are due to segmentation problems and processing limitations. (CHK)
