Provide an example of an overregularization error. What do overregularization errors reveal about young children's language development?

What will be an ideal response?


Answers may vary. An example of an overregularization error is a child adding s to certain words, such as foots, gooses, tooths, and mouses. These types of errors show that the child understands and applies language rules, although incorrect. Overregularization errors are an indication of grammatical sophistication.
