Abstract

In this reply we briefly address the following issues: the role of input frequencies; the contrast between an emergentist and an innatist position on the development of tense and agreement marking; the importance of comparing the adult language to that of the child when deciding on the level of grammatical abstraction in the child's system; and, finally, how to reconcile preferential looking results with results from studies using other methods.

Resumen

En esta respuesta abordamos brevemente las siguientes cuestiones: el papel de las frecuencias de las estructuras que los niños escuchan; el contraste entre una posición emergentista y una innatista en el desarrollo de tiempoverbal y concordancia; la importancia de la comparación entre la lengua de los adultos y la de los niños al decidir el nivel de abstracción gramatical en el sistema del niño; y, finalmente, cómo reconciliar los resultados de los estudios de mirada preferente con los resultados de aquellos que utilizan otros métodos.
