The present study investigates the acquisition of so-called functional categories in English children between the ages of two and three. It takes as its starting point Radford's hypothesis that initial child grammars are afunctional, and argues in favour of the Weak Continuity Hypothesis, dicussing the issue of triggers. Includes a summery and references.
