Dmitri Priven – TESL Canada Journal, 2022
Complex noun phrases (CNP) are a major vehicle of academic written discourse (Halliday, 1988/2004).

In the current study, we investigated whether children could use this mechanism to disambiguate words whose interpretation as a noun or a verb is ambiguous. We tested 2- to 4-year-old…
