Adults and children aged 3;0–3;6 were presented with ungrammatical NVN uses of intransitive-only verbs (e.g., * Bob laughed Wendy ) and asked – by means of a forced-choice pointing task – to select either a causal  construction-meaning  interpretation (e.g., ‘Bob  made  Wendy laugh’) or a non-causal  sentence-repair  interpretation (e.g., ‘Bob laughed  at  Wendy’). Both age groups chose casual  construction-meaning  interpretations on at least 82% of trials, regardless of (a) verb frequency and (b) the construction used for grammatical control/filler trials (transitive – e.g.,  Bob moved Wendy  – or intransitive – e.g.,  Wendy moved ). These findings constitute support for cognitive linguistic approaches under which verb argument structure constructions have meanings in and of themselves and – further – suggest that construction meaning is sufficiently powerful as to overrule verb meaning when the two conflict.
