The syntactic skeleton: Partial syntactic structure through function words and prosody
Many recent results show that infants, before 18 months of age, are sensitive to the function words of their native language as well as to its prosody. We propose that infants are able to exploit these two sources of information to build a partial syntactic structure, the syntactic skeleton (Christophe et al. in press, Language & Speech). Using a word detection task, we observed that 18-month-old French infants, just like adults, are able to predict the syntactic category of incoming words. Such information may help infants to constrain their acquisition of word meanings (e.g. noun = object, verb = action).
