Early verb development in two French-speaking children

This paper deals with early verb development (e.g., person, tense) until the emergence of verb-paradigms in two French-speaking children. I will show the parallelism between the two children in the gradual building of paradigms, despite considerable differences in the rate of development. Individual differences on the other hand will bring me to reconsider the broad category of premorphological rote-learnt forms which already displays some patterning in one of the children's data.
