This study examines the development of word order patterns in Irish, a strict VSO language. It was found that the three children studied used subject-initial utterances considerably more frequently than adults in input, and taht in both adult and child the elision of verb 'to be' played a significant role. Another signifucant factor was found to be the different restrictions on main verbs and verbal nouns with regard to the subject; in neutral sentences the main verb always precedes the subject, while the verbal noun always follows it. The Bates & MacWhinney (1979) hypothesis that early verb initialization results from a tendency to place new information before given information was also inverstigated.
