Palomi Linguistics

Palomi's language acquisition lends a new perspective on language. One thing she's very stuck on lately is that, as the videos show, she's "three year-olds." She's treating "year-old" as the noun, the plural being "year-olds." Or, possibly, "old" is the noun. And from how we use the term, that makes a lot of sense. The question is always, "how old are you?" Not, "how many years old are you?"
