The Function of Local Cues in the Acquisition of Japanese Temporal Sentences.
Kawashima, Michiko; Prideaux, Gary D.
Language Sciences, v14 n1-2 p29-53 Jan-Apr 1992
Examines the role of a "local cue"--the grammatical aspect expressed by the verb "ru/-ta"--in Japanese temporal clauses. Ninety-six children were examined. Results show that the success of verb forms as clues requires that temporal relations be clearly expressed. This supports the claim that overt surface clues facilitate childrens' sentence processing.
