Early Acquisition of Nominal Plural in Spanish

This paper examines the development of nominal plural formation in Spanish by three monolingual and two Spanish-German bilingual children, from the beginning of word production until at about 2;4 -3;0, depending on data availability. Some children begin to express plurality by means of a final -e (b...
