## Summary

This poster was presented on 2021 April 8 - 11 at the [39th meeting of the
West Coast Conference on Formal
Linguistics](https://sites.google.com/view/wccfl2021/).

Provided abstract:
English-acquiring children exhibit a canonical S(Aux)VO word order remarkably
early. We aim to shed light on the processes of setting a canonical order by
presenting new data from an early-talking British English-acquiring child.
Contrary to what is generally reported, this child exhibits AuxSVO word order
for both statements and polar questions. We explain his striking difference in
acquiring canonical word order by two complementary frequency-driven learning
strategies.
