V (NP) V'
In a serializing language such as Sranan, this operation can apply recursively, to yield a VP with three or more V heads, as in (9).

V/V' (NP) V'
Our proposal, then, is that the child refrains from positing serialization as a grammatical option until encountering an example like (10) (with three or more verbs).


  1. Kofi [fringi a tiki [fadon [naki Amba]]]. (cf. Baker p.550, after Sebba 1987)

Kofi throw the stick fall hit Amba

"Kofi threw the stick down at Amba (and hit her)."


A problem, however, is that even in English there can be examples with three or more verbs, such as "John will go help Mary cook". Indeed, the truth conditions for this example are compatible with the typical “conjunctive” semantics of an SVC: John will go, and he will help Mary, and Mary will cook. Yet, while three-term examples of this type are grammatical, they will pose a problem for our learnability account only if they are robustly present in the input. The question, then, is the frequency of such examples in child-directed speech.
