在学习不允许空主语的语言的典型发展中儿童中，已经确定了一个任选不定式（OI）产生的阶段（Wexler（1994; 1998; 1999）），并且该阶段已被证明至少在具有特定语言障碍的讲英语和德语的儿童中延长（SLI; Rice，Noll，and Grimm（1997），Rice，Wexler，and Cleave（1995））。虽然学习无主体语言的TD儿童不会经历OI阶段（Bar-Shalom和Snyder（1997），Guasti（1993）），但关于SLI儿童学习这些语言是否经历这个阶段的报道却各不相同（Bortolini，Caselli和伦纳德（1997），Bottari，Cipriani和Chilosi（1996））。在这篇文章中，我们提出的证据，从因纽特人，一个空的主题语言尚未调查方面的OIs。我们表明，虽然TD儿童学习因纽特人不通过OI阶段，一个孩子与SLI通过OI阶段。此外，因纽特语儿童引导言语（CDS）中带有显性动词屈折变化的限定动词形式的比例显著高于英语CDS。我们讨论了这些结果的影响理论的连续性，儿童语法的初始阶段，语言结构和输入对语言习得的影响。
A stage of optional infinitive (OI) production has been identified in typically developing (TD) children learning languages that do not permit null subjects (Wexler (1994; 1998; 1999)), and this stage has been shown to be extended in at least English- and German-speaking children with specific language impairment (SLI; Rice, Noll, and Grimm (1997), Rice, Wexler, and Cleave (1995)). Although TD children learning null subject languages do not go through an OI stage (Bar-Shalom and Snyder (1997), Guasti (1993)), reports differ concerning whether children with SLI learning these languages go through this stage (Bortolini, Caselli, and Leonard (1997), Bottari, Cipriani, and Chilosi (1996)). In this article, we present evidence from Inuktitut, a null subject language not yet investigated with respect to OIs. We show that although TD children learning Inuktitut do not go through an OI stage, one child with SLI does go through an OI stage. In addition, the percentage of finite verb forms marked with an overt verbal inflection in Inuktitut child-directed speech (CDS) is strikingly high compared with that in English CDS. We discuss the implications of these results for theories of continuity, the initial stage of child grammar, and the effect of language structure and input on language acquisition.
