这本书对儿童如何习得复句进行了全面的研究。Holger Diessel利用2至5岁英语儿童的观察数据，研究了不定式和分词补足语从句、限定补足语从句、限定和非限定关系从句、状语从句和并列从句的习得。他的研究表明，复句的发展起源于简单的非嵌入句，并可以区分出两种不同的发展路径：包括补语和关系从句的复句是从简单句逐渐扩展到多从句结构的，包括状语和并列从句的复句是从整合在特定双主句单位中的简单句发展而来的。他认为，习得过程是由多种因素决定的：环境语言中各种复句的频率，新兴结构的语义和句法复杂性，复句的交际功能，以及儿童的社会认知发展。
This book presents a comprehensive study of how children acquire complex sentences. Drawing on observational data from English-speaking children aged 2 to 5, Holger Diessel investigates the acquisition of infinitival and participial complement clauses, finite complement clauses, finite and nonfinite relative clauses, adverbial clauses, and coordinate clauses. His investigation shows that the development of complex sentences originates from simple non-embedded sentences and that two different developmental pathways can be distinguished: complex sentences including complement and relative clauses evolve from simple sentences that are gradually expanded to multiple-clause constructions, and complex sentences including adverbial and coordinate clauses develop from simple sentences that are integrated in a specific biclausal unit. He argues that the acquisition process is determined by a variety of factors: the frequency of the various complex sentences in the ambient language, the semantic and syntactic complexity of the emerging constructions, the communicative functions of complex sentences, and the social-cognitive development of the child.
