Children's Command of Four Inflectional Constructions in Arabic: Differences and Development With Age

CONCLUSIONS: This study contributes to our knowledge about early language development by showing that the acquisition of gender and number-plurals is faster and more advanced than the acquisition of possessive pronouns or tense. The implications of these results are discussed, especially the need to develop children's inflectional forms such as possessive pronouns and tense, which may eventually also impact narrative understanding and production.PMID:37934887 | DOI:10.1044/2023_JSLHR-23-00153
