The content of this course is organized around key grammatical items that form the base of morphological systems of richly inflected languages, namely, morphological oppositions in verbs and nouns, miniparadigms and paradigms, agreement, gender, person, case, number, etc. Theoretical issues to be discuused are: nature vs. nurture, continuity vs. distinct stages of development, universal invariant competence vs. individual variation, rules vs. usage-based learning, modularity vs. dependency. The theoretical approach followed in this course is the non-nativist and constructivist model of Pre- and Protomorphology (e.g. Dressler, Ketrez, Kilani-Schoch 2017) applying basic parameters of Natural Morphology to the acquisition of inflection and derivation. This theoretical framework is compatible with the usage-based approach to language acquisition (Tomasello 2003) and generally opposed to most models of Universal grammar (e.g. Chomsky 2012). We shall also consider main milestones of L1 acquisition, language-specific features of the process of language development and its speed, motherese and its influence on children’s speech, social status of the family and its impact on language development. Slavic data are compared to languages with other genetic affiliation, e.g. Germanic, Romance, Greek, Finno-Ugric and Turkic.
