Isi artikel

Borer & Wexler 1987 explain the apparent late acquisition of verbal passive in English and Hebrew by hypothesizing that the principle governing A-chain formation matures relatively late in language development. However, in Sesotho, a Banu language, verbal passives are acquired early, by at least 2;8 years. This suggests either thatEnglish-and Hebrew-speaking children actually acquire the ability to form verbal passives early in language development, and that other nonmaturational factors influence its late appearance, or that the acquition of the verbal passive is not determined by maturation, contrary to the claims of Borer & Wexler.*
