Action Meets Word: How children learn verbs Book

Words are the building blocks of language. An understanding of how words are learned is thus central to any theory of language acquisition.

Word learning theories must explain not only the learning of object nouns, but also the learning of other, major classes of words - verbs and adjectives. Verbs form the hub of the sentence because they determine the sentence's argument structure.
