Abstract

Based on the spontaneous data of a Chinese-speaking child collected from 1 year old up to 4+ years old, this study focuses on the development of his scope by examining the scope interaction between negation and quantified NPs that occur in preverbal positions. It is found that the child is sensitive to scope at 3:2, an age much earlier than the age reported in other studies (e g, age of 6 in Lee 1991). Further evidence shows that the child has mastered scope of negation and scope in general at the age of 4 First, starting from age 4;3, the child has managed to mark universal quantifiers and wh-phrases as well as duration phrases occurring in the preverbal position with scope markers such as dou 'all' and you 'have' Second, by the age of 4;5, the child has placed duration phrases in target positions in relation to negation.
获取范围:一项纵向研究
本研究以一名1岁至4岁以上的汉语儿童为研究对象,通过考察言语前位置的否定与量化NPs之间的范围相互作用,研究其范围的发展。发现儿童在3:2时对范围敏感,这个年龄比其他研究报告的年龄要早得多(例如Lee 1991年的6岁)。进一步的证据表明,孩子在4岁时已经掌握了否定的范围和一般的范围。首先,从4岁开始,孩子已经能够用“dou”、“all”和“you have”等范围标记标记出出现在言语前位置的全称量词、“h”短语和持续短语。其次,到4岁5岁时,孩子已经能够将持续短语放置在与否定相关的目标位置。

期刊介绍: Taiwan Journal of Linguistics is an international journal dedicated to the publication of research papers in linguistics and welcomes contributions in all areas of the scientific study of language. Contributions may be submitted from all countries and are accepted all year round. The language of publication is English. There are no restrictions on regular submission; however, manuscripts simultaneously submitted to other publications cannot be accepted. TJL adheres to a strict standard of double-blind reviews to minimize biases that might be caused by knowledge of the author’s gender, culture, or standing within the professional community. Once a manuscript is determined as potentially suitable for the journal after an initial screening by the editor, all information that may identify the author is removed, and copies are sent to at least two qualified reviewers. The selection of reviewers is based purely on professional considerations and their identity will be kept strictly confidential by TJL. All feedback from the reviewers, except such comments as may be specifically referred to the attention of the editor, is faithfully relayed to the authors to assist them in improving their work, regardless of whether the paper is to be accepted, accepted upon minor revision, revised and resubmitted, or rejected.
