Acquisition of Derived Nominals in Hebrew: Developmental and Linguistic Principles.

Ravid, Dorit; Avidor, Avraham

Journal of Child Language, v25 n2 p229-66 Jun 1998

Examined how Hebrew-speaking children acquired Hebrew-derived nominals (HDNs) of two types (action nominals and deverbal nouns). Child and adult native Hebrew speakers were tested on comprehension and production of HDNs. Acquisition of HDNs began at age 8 and was not complete by age 15. Task type, binyan patterns, and morphological regularity all affected ease of acquisition. (Author/SM)
