• Development of word order in German complement-clause constructions: Effects of input frequencies, lexical items, and discourse function (2010, background): “As has been suggested for English (Diessel & Tomasello 2000), German-speaking children’s first relative clauses are formally and functionally closer to main clauses than to subordinate clauses.”
• Object relatives made easy: A cross-linguistic comparison of the constraints influencing young children's processing of relative clauses (2007, background): “ Diessel and Tomasello (2000) suggested that these early relatives emerge from children’s existing knowledge of presentational constructions (e.g., This is an X) and an emerging knowledge of noun modification.”
