The acquisition of verb morphology by native speakers reportedly reflects this complexity in that children produce multiple non-target-like forms wherein tense, person, and number errors are found. This study reports all verb forms identified in the spontaneous speech by a group of 15 native Spanish-speaking children ages 3;6 to 5;6. The analysis of all 233 verb forms analyzed revealed some pronunciation errors, number agreement errors, errors in the use of clitic pronouns, and incorrect use of person and tense agreement.  The majority of non-target-like forms identified consisted of regularization of verb forms wherein regular conjugation morphemes were attached to irregular verbs. A few –ar type verbs additionally showed ir-regularization of regular verbs, as children used conjugations which apply to irregular verbs with regular verbs.   Universidad de Costa Rica 2016-06-29 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Article application/pdf https://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/filyling/article/view/25474 10.15517/rfl.v42i1.25474 Journal of Philology and Linguistics of the University of Costa Rica; Vol. 42 No. 1 (2016); 141-163 Revista de Filología y Lingüística de la Universidad de Costa Rica; Vol. 42 Núm. 1 (2016); 141-163 Revista de Filología y Lingüística; Vol. 42 N.º 1 (2016); 141-163 2215-2628 0377-628X spa https://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/filyling/article/view/25474/25724 Derechos de autor 2016 Revista de Filología y Lingüística de la Universidad de Costa Rica
