Learning argument structure generalizations (2004, background): “…studies have yielded di¤ering answers (see Ninio 1999 for a claim that such verbs should be the very first or second verbs uttered; but see Campbell and Tomasello 2001 for evidence that they are not always the very first verbs).8 It also must be noted that it is not necessary for there…”
When and how do children develop knowledge of verb argument structure? Evidence from verb bias effects in a structural priming task (2015, background): “Similar verb-syntactic preferences have been reported in other work (e.g., Campbell & Tomasello, 2001; Gropen, Pinker, Hollander, Goldberg, & Wilson, 1989).”
Avoiding dative overgeneralisation errors: semantics, statistics or both? (2014, background): “Studies of spontaneous speech (e.g., Campbell & Tomasello, 2001; Gropen, Pinker, Hollander, Goldberg, & Wilson, 1989; Snyder & Stromswold, 1997) suggest that both emerge in production at around 2;0.”
Syntactic priming during language comprehension in three- and four-year-old children (2008, background): “First, a number of studies have concluded that by three years of age, children comprehend and produce both kinds of dative constructions (Campbell & Tomasello, 2001; Gropen, Pinker, Hollander, Goldberg, & Wilson, 1989).”
INTERACTION AND SYNTACTIC PRIMING: English L2 Speakers' Production of Dative Constructions (2006, unknown): “…1994; Wolfe-Quintero, 1998!+ L1 acquisition researchers have argued that double-object datives typically emerge before prepositional datives ~Campbell & Tomasello, 2001; Huttenlocher, Vasilyeva, Cymerman, & Levine, 2002; Snyder, 2001; Snyder & Stromswald, 1997; Stromswald & Synder, 1995!+…”
The roles of verb semantics, entrenchment, and morphophonology in the retreat from dative argument-structure overgeneralization errors (2012, background): “…verbs such as come, go, laugh, and cry, many PO-only verbs (e.g. push, pull, shout, yell ) are likely to be encountered only relatively infrequently, with more frequent, early-acquired verbs such as give, bring, send, tell (see Campbell & Tomasello 2001) appearing in both the PO- and DO-dative.”
