When a child begins to relate events and things to each other, to express arguments, explanations, comparisons and description, he begins to use complex sentences. This study shows how a child learns to use complex sentences. The book is addressed to linguists, psychologists and speech therapists, particularly to those interested in the cognitive / semantic and linguistic developments of the child.

This book presents a comprehensive study of how children acquire complex sentences. Drawing on observational data from English-speaking children aged 2 to 5, Holger Diessel investigates the acquisition of infinitival and participial complement clauses, finite complement clauses, finite and nonfinite relative clauses, adverbial clauses, and coordinate clauses. His investigation shows that the development of complex sentences originates from simple non-embedded sentences and that two different developmental pathways can be distinguished: complex sentences including complement and relative clauses evolve from simple sentences that are gradually expanded to multiple-clause constructions, and complex sentences including adverbial and coordinate clauses develop from simple sentences that are integrated in a specific biclausal unit. He argues that the acquisition process is determined by a variety of factors: the frequency of the various complex sentences in the ambient language, the semantic and syntactic complexity of the emerging constructions, the communicative functions of complex sentences, and the social-cognitive development of the child.

This dissertation investigates structure choice of complex sentences across three languages and across development. The goal of this work was to identify factors that motivate production choices and what these factors suggest about the knowledge and processes that underlie sentence production. In three studies, participants saw scenes depicting people acting on other people and inanimate objects. They answered questions about the entities that were acted upon, which elicited either active object relative ("the toy/man that the girl is hugging") or passive relative ("the toy/man that is being hugged by the girl") utterances. In Chapter 1, I investigated structure choices made by English speakers as a function of the visual environment. Speakers almost always produced passive utterances when describing animate entities, and produced a mix of object and passive relatives when describing inanimate entities. Further, less visually salient inanimate entities tended to more often be described with passives. This is interpreted as evidence of the linguistic and visual context affecting production choices. In Chapter 2, I investigated differences in structure choice by speakers of English, Japanese and Korean. All speakers produced more passive utterances when describing animate entities, but the absolute rates of passives varied across languages. Crucially, rates of passives in main clauses were a better predictor of the rate of passives in relative clauses than was language typology. Finally, In Chapter 3, I investigated differences in structure choice of eight-year-old children, twelve-year-old children and adults. Two corpus analyses showed that passive relatives are far more common in children's literature than in child-directed speech. While all age groups produced more passive utterances when describing animate entities, overall rates of passives increased with age. Consistent with the results of the corpus analyses, increased text exposure in eight-year-old children and adults was associated with a greater proportion of passive utterances. These studies suggest a number of factors that affect production choices. Specifically, these studies provide evidence that constraints on the speaker affect production choices, and when possible, speakers learn to use the flexibility afforded by language to make the production process easier.

The studies in this book cover a range of topics in child language development, including: acquistion of semantic-syntactic relations, negation, verb inflections, questions, syntactic connectives, complementation, causality, imitation, and discourse contigency. Of special interest is the development of verb subcategorization, and the importance of action, locative, epistemic, and perception verbs in particular. Language Development from Two to Three will be of interest to a range of readers in psychology, linguistics, early childhood education, speech and language pathology, and second language learing.

The papers in this volume in honor of Sandra Annear Thompson deal with complex sentences, an important topic in Thompson's career. The focus of the contributions is on the ways in which the grammatical properties of complex sentences are shaped by the communicative context in which they are produced, an approach to grammatical analysis that Thompson pioneered and developed in the course of her distinguished career.
