In arrangements (2) – (5), it will be seen that while columns b and c are fixed in relation to each other, as c is in relation to d, columns a, f and g permit some mobility. How much and with what effect?

How can one tell? Give a grammatical explanation for that.

• The components of phrases: there are 3 Noun Phrases ('mummy', 'daddy', 'dog'), 2 Verb Phrases ('look' and 'gone'). The Verb Phrase" gone” has an incomplete intransitive verb. The child does not have knowledge in the [there  +  VERB  +  NOUN]  pattern, so, for the above mentioned impersonal structure, we come across to a verb ellipsis.

• The inflexion of irregular verbs: We have the presence of 'gone'. 

• The child has achieved the cognitive mechanism of analogy. We have no reason to believe that she/he had heard this particular sentence in its entirety and he was merely repeating it. The child already assimilated the usage of the spacial elements. (daddy gone = he is not there, there dog = the dog is in his farness.) We are not sure if his/her mother is in his/her proximity nor if the child is trying to catch his mother attention in order to express his knowledge about the position of the objects
*     We believe that the child could start learning about the presence of the verb “to be” in different structures, in order to consolidate the knowledge he already has.]]> 2021-04-16 12:26:21 UTC https://padlet.com/grcontrastiva/qme2bom6azv2ueus/wish/1425063973 https://padlet.com/grcontrastiva/qme2bom6azv2ueus/wish/1425171535 2021-04-16 12:56:32 UTC https://padlet.com/grcontrastiva/qme2bom6azv2ueus/wish/1425171535
