Children in the early stages of language development are known to make case-marking errors. These errors are utterances in which a nominative pronoun (e.g. ‘he’) has been replaced with a non-nominative pronoun, such as the accusative (e.g. ‘him’), resulting in utterances such as ‘him does it’ instead of ‘he does it’ and ‘her get it‘instead of ‘she gets it’.
