Abstract

Grimshaw and Rosen have recently argued that the standard binding theory, as formulated in the Governement-Binding(GR) framework is innate. Results indicating that children do not know the coreference aspects of the standard binding theory are due to performance factors that mask this knowledge, leading, in GR's opinion, to the poor scores on tasks that supposedly test it. We will argue that the acquisition finding GR discuss do not lead to the conclusions they reach
