note = "This paper deepens the categorization and expression of
placement events through an empirical study on early
acquisition (3; 6-5; 14 years) of Spanish as a first
language. This research is based on previous studies on the
coding of placement events in Spanish in adults
(Ibarretxe-Antuñano 2012, Cadierno et al 2016,
Ibarretxe-Antuñano et al 2016) and the basic principles of
the Thinking to Speak theory (Slobin 1991; 1996; Berman and
Slobin 1994). The main purpose is to verify if the
lexicalization patterns proposed for placement events in
Spanish in adult informants are shown in the description of
these events in children of different ages. For this
reason, they describe how these events are encoded by
children at an early age, to establish what are the
differences and similarities within groups (children,
children and adults). The data comes from a total of 30
children in pre-school education aged (10 of each age)
between 3, 6 and 5, 14 years, whose mother tongue is
Spanish. In addition, there is a control group of 10 adult
native speakers. The data have been obtained from two
experimental tools (10 videos from the "PUT task" developed
at the Institute of Psycholinguistics of Max Planck
(Nijmegen, Netherlands) (Bowerman et al., 2004) and
theatrical adaptation of 10 placement events with everyday
objects). The main results of the study conclude that the
characteristic lexicalization patterns of placement events
in Spanish in adult speakers are already shown at very
early ages.",
