最近，许多作者在通用语法框架内（乔姆斯基1986）认为，早期儿童语言的形式部分取决于可用词汇的性质。Guilfoyle & Noonan (1988), Lebeaux（1988）和Radford(1990)（英语）以及Platzack(1989)（瑞典语）认为功能范畴，特别是系统，最初在这些语言中是不存在的。Clahsen（即将出现）和Tracy et al. (1990) for German；法语的Pierce（1989）和伯尔尼瑞士人的Penner（1990）认为，在这些语言中，最初缺少某些功能类别（例如补语、一致语）。幼儿语言的其他特性，如缺少主语、没有动词运动、没有格分配、VP-internal主语等等，都是从这种类型的分析中得出的。
Recently, various authors have argued within a Universal Grammar framework (Chomsky 1986) that the form of early child language is determined in part by the nature of the vocabulary available. Guilfoyle & Noonan (1988), Lebeaux (1988), and Radford (1990) for English, and Platzack (1989) for Swedish assume that functional categories, particularly the Isystem, are initially absent in these languages. Clahsen (to appear) and Tracy et al. (1990) for German; Pierce (1989) for French, and Penner (1990) for Bernese Swiss assume that in these languages certain functional categories, (e. g. complementizers, agreement) are initially missing. Other properties of early child language, like missing subjects, the absence of verb movement, the absence of case assignment, VP-internal subjects, and so on, follow from this type of analysis.
