Three-, four-, and five-year-old children were tested on comprehension and production of two forms of basic (S-IO-DO-V) and transformed (S-DO-IO-V) bitransitive sentences. The effects of prototypicality of the described event and sentence complexity on performance were also investigated. The results showed that (1) for each group of subjects performance of basic bitransitives was better than that of the transformed both on comprehension and production, (2) transformed bitransitives were rarely produced or influenced either by prototypicality of the event or sentence complexity, (3) the less prototypical the event and the higher the sentence complexity the lower the performance on basic bitransitives, with this decreasing tendency being smaller for five-year-old children. The results were interpreted as substantiating Osgood's (1980) naturalness principle concerning the correlation between prelinguistic cognizing and sentence comprehending and producing.
