This study attempts to determine whether subject-auxiliary inversion occurs in yes-no questions before wh-questions and whether noninversion errors (when daddy will come home?) are a characteristic feature of the acquisition of wh-questions. The data consist of the yes-no and wh-questions of 18 children, aged 2; 5 to 3; 0 with an MLU range of 2.66-4.26. Findings do not support previous claims that inversion is acquired in yes-no questions before wh-questions. Rather, a significant number of children were found to use an optional inversion rule in both question types. This fact appears to account for the finding that non-inversion errors are a characteristic feature of the acquisition of wh-questions.
