And what about the Chinese?

Publication ,  Journal Article
Behrens, H; Tomasello, M
Published in: Behavioral and Brain Sciences
December 1, 1999

We discuss other recent studies on the acquisition of the German plural that do not support the dual-mechanism model. The attested overgeneralizations are not by default only, nor completely random, but predictable from subregularities based on the grammatical gender and the phonology of the noun. In addition, the dual-mechanism model creates a number of problems for acquisition (theory) rather than solving existing ones.
