Abstract: Possibly no other area of the lexicon is as complex as verbs. They not only convey information about events and states but also about motives, intentions, causality—to mention but a few dimensions. In addition, verbs can be inflected for tense and aspect and thus are the major means of conveying temporal information. An account of how the child masters the verb system would necessarily play a central role in a complete account of language development.
