This study aims to investigate language attitudes in Estonian-speaking families regarding communication with children under three years old. Using data collected via a web-based questionnaire from 246 Estonian families, the …
When family language policy and early bilingualism research intersect
The article discusses family language policy in a family of ethnic Russians in Estonia where the father speaks Russian, and the mother speaks Estonian. This is the case of internalization of Estonian among ethnic Russians, a novel phenomenon in the post-Soviet countries. The data come from family conversations (6 h) and the semi-structured interview with the parents (1.5 h). There are discrepancies between the declared ideologies, management, and…
Mina tahan, aga sina vaata . Eri tähendusega verbide ja isikuliste asesõnade omandamisest eesti keeles
Artiklis antakse ühe lapse spontaanse kõne andmestiku põhjal ülevaade isikukategooria, st nii personaalpronoomenite kui ka nendega koos esinevate verbide omandamisest eesti keeles. Vaadeldakse, mille poolest erinevad esimese isiku tegevusi väljendavad verbid teise ja kolmanda isiku omadest ja kuivõrd sobitub eesti lapse spontaanse kõne andmestik (lapse vanusest 1;4–3;0, kokku 20 tundi) Wellmanni ja Liu (2004.

Keeletoimetajate õpetamisest õppejõu pilgu läbi. (Vaateid eesti keelekorralduse arenguloole)
Keelekorralduse põhimõtted jõuavad tekstidesse mitut teed pidi, nii kirjalike keelenõuannete kui ka vahendajagrupi ehk keeletoimetajate valikute ja otsuste kaudu. Keeletoimetajad omandavad keelekorralduse põhimõtted ja teadmised üldjuhul ülikoolis, hiljem muidugi ka töö ja enesetäiendamise käigus. Enamasti on keeletoimetajatel filoloogiline haridus, suurem osa toimetajatest ongi lõpetanud eesti filoloogia õppekava. Noorematest keeletoimetajatest…
Acquisition of referentiality in elicited narratives of Estonian-speaking children
This study addresses the acquisition of referential expressions in pre-schoolers’ narratives in Estonian. A total of sixteen 6- to 7-year-old typically developing monolingual Estonian children were tested using the story “Baby Goat” from the Multilingual Assessment Instrument for Narratives (MAIN) (Gagarina, Natalia, Klop, Daleen, Kunnari, Sari, Tantele, Koula, Välimaa, Taina, Balciuniene, Ingrida, Bohnacker, Ute and Walters, Joel. 2012. “MAIN: M…
Finiitverbide kõrvutikasutus laste ja lastele suunatud kõnes ehk Söö söö söö suu tühjaks
Artiklis kirjeldatakse lapse ja tema vanema suulise argisuhtluse direktiivsetes lausungites kasutatavaid verbi finiitvormide kõrvutikasutusi ning selgitatakse nende rolli nii eesti suulise direktiivse argisuhtluse kui ka keeleomandamise perspektiivist. Verbi finiitvormi kõrvutikasutused on lapsele suunatud kõnes sagedased ja täiskasvanu kõne iga viies direktiivne lausung sisaldab rohkem kui kaht finiitverbi kõrvuti. Samas ei ole aga verbi kõrvuti…
The adaptation of Main to Estonian

Linguistic recycling in language acquisition
The paper examines how children quote their parents’ utterances. In other words, it investigates linguistic recycling as an aspect of language learning and how the child-directed speech (CDS) of adults influences child speech (CS). This topic is examined especially in the light of research made in the crosslinguistic project on pre- and protomorphology in language acquisition. Premorphology is characterized by rote-learned forms, which the child …

Hakkama-Verb Lapsekeeles
Hakkama-verb in child language: a marker of aspectuality or future?In Estonian one of the most frequent means of expressing the future is the phase verb hakkama â beginâ , which acts similarly to a future auxiliary; however, in addition to the future, it has several other meanings, such as the inchoative aspect or the beginning of a situation. Because in Estonian the future is expressed also by the present forms and temporal words that specify th…
Emergence and Early Acquisition of the Adjective Inflection in Estonian
Notes 1. Quantity alternation in Estonian is based on syllable length (the contrast of short and long stressed syllables) and on syllable weight (the contrast of light and stressed syllables). 2. Estonian has 14 nominal cases: nominative, genitive, partitive, illative, inessive, elative, allative, adessive, ablative, translative, terminative, essive, abessive, and comitative. 3. For further information about Estonian adjectives, see Erelt (1986 E…
