  • Summary

    In this chapter, comparable designs and methods are applied to a language which is grammatically distinct in branching direction and word order from either English or French: Tulu, a Dravidian language spoken in Southern India, which allows several variants of relativization. The chapter introduces critical aspects of Tulu grammar, focusing on the pronominal feature system and its interaction with Determiners in the language. Despite variation in the expression of headed and headlessness, Tulu data confirm a primacy of headlessness in the development of relativization. Once again, the data reveal that the child is engaging in Grammatical Mapping between a universal template and linguistic properties of a language-specific grammar.
