THE ACQUISITION OF NOUN AND VERB INFLECTIONS
Abstract
This research describes the acquisition of 5 noun and verb inflections by 3 subjects of a longitudinal study. Criteria were established for asserting that inflections were required in particular utterances, and the proportion of supplied to omitted inflections was charted over time. Plurals appear before possessives, and each appears first in particular linguistic contexts. Present progressives appear before pasts and present indicatives. When rate of acquisition is compared across children, different results are obtained if chronological age or mean length of utterance is held constant. These findings, and a categorization of errors of commission according to the levels of generative grammar, are discussed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
