AB This undergraduate dissertation presents a grammatical study investigating the acquisition of ditransitive structures by English native speakers. Concretely, it compares the production of two child groups: typically developed children (TD) and children diagnosed with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The analysis deals with the acquisition of ditransitive structures in different aspects: age of acquisition, acquisition of the different types of ditransitive structures and the different verbs these children use in semantic terms. The results of this study reveal that ASD children acquire ditransitive structures much later than TD children. However, both TD and ASD children acquire double object constructions (DOC) before prepositional dative constructions (PDC). Another similarity is that both child groups tend to use verbs from the “giving” semantic group when producing ditransitive structures.
