Resumé

This study investigates the development of the noun plural inflectional category in Danish children from the first appearance up to the age of 10 years. It is based on a multi-method research approach in order to get a fuller picture of Danish children’s acquisition of noun plurals. The study rests on a sound-based analysis of the Danish noun plural system, and investigates the hypothesis that the productivity of the plural markers has an impact on acquisition. In order to test the hypothesis, a scale with three degrees of productivity for plural markers is proposed: 1) fully productive; 2) semi-productive; and 3) unproductive. The acquisition rate is predicted to go from fully productive to semi-productive to unproductive plural markers and the error direction to go from unproductive to semi-productive to fully productive plural markers. These predictions are confirmed by the study.
