Based on an analysis of natural production data, I show that Italian children, at a young age, distinguish between finite and inifinitival verbs. The evidence comes from the distribution of these two classes of verbs and from the placement of clitic (atonic) pronouns. I argue that, from the earliest stages, Italian children have knowledge of the verbal agreemant paradigm. These result evaluated in the framework of the principles and parameters theory of grammar are naturally interpreted as evidence that the initial structure of children's sentences includes functional categories, specifically the Inflectional Phrase.
