The acquisition of Russian aspect

Abstract

The central goal of this dissertation is to introduce and provide evidence for the Hypothesis of Context-Driven Learning, which states that linguistic forms and functions are first acquired in highly specific contexts before their usage becomes generalized.Support for this hypothesis comes from one comprehension and three production experiments with children aged 2 -6.The experiments vary with regard to Austauschdienst, the Departement of Slavic Languages and Literatures, University of California, Berkeley, and three Summer Humanities Grants.This support is gratefully acknowledged.There are many people who helped me on the way, and I want to express my deepest gratitude to all of them.In 1994, I was awarded a Ph.
