Focusing on Universal Grammar, this guide explores language acquisition research through two key experimental techniques: Elicited Production and Truth Value Judgment tasks. The authors address challenges in studying children's linguistic competence, aiming for reproducible results that avoid experimental pitfalls. The first section delves into foundational assumptions and theories of linguistic competence and processing, while the subsequent sections provide an in-depth look at the methodologies employed in their research, enhancing understanding of children's language abilities.
