Comparing different models of the development of verb inflection in early child Spanish. by Javier Aguado-Orea, Julian M Pine

“…The generativist claim that children's early use of verb inflection is essentially error-free is tested by investigating the rate at which the children made subject-verb agreement errors in different parts of the present tense paradigm.
