Abstract

Drodz in his review of Crain & Thornton's Investigations in Universal Grammar (IUG) raises a number of important issues which, I think, deserve further discussion. In what follows I will concentrate on two aspects that might be the source of children's non-adultlike linguistic behaviour, namely memory and methodological weaknesses in experimental work. I will briefly comment on the use of statistics.
