  • Character referencing in English and Chinese storybooks written for children

    Eddie Kok Keng Yew, Judith Felson Duchan et al.ARTICLEAsia Pacific Journal of Speech…2002

    The texts of 12 English and 12 Chinese children's books were analysed for how they referred to the main characters in the stories. Comparisons were made between referring expressions used in six texts for early-level readers and six texts for mid-level readers in both languages. There were no differences found between early- and mid-level texts in their use of full expressions, pronouns or ellipsis within the two languages. However, the Chinese b…

We show that: (a) even simple narrative texts have a range of interpretations; (b) the variability of the interpretations decreases with the presence of the interclausal connectives; (c) the role of two connectives, then and and, serve primarily to identify variations in continuity between information in the in…

  • Why not semantic relations

    Open AccessJudith Felson Duchan, Judith Duchan et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child Language1979

    This study challenges the semantic relations categories widely used for explaining children's early utterances. Ten 3-year-olds were asked two sets of questions involving the verb + with construction. Their responses were categorized according to existing semantic relations categories such as instrumental and locative. Problems with this approach emerged which were solved by developing a more simple dichotomous category system. The children respo…
