To investigate the developmental pathways in early verb learning, the present study used an intermodal preferential looking paradigm with a dialogue phase to examine whether 27-month-old Japanese-learning children can infer the meaning of novel verbs based on the accusative case marker. The results showed that the children hearing a single-argument sentence with a direct object marked with accusative “o” looked significantly longer at a causative scene than a non-causative scene. This suggests that Japanese-learning children at 27 months of age already acquire the ability to infer verb meaning based on morpho-syntactic cues such as case markers. |
