Learning to comprehend and explain spatial metaphors for time in Chinese
Time is frequently structured in terms of motion as moving-time (e.g., “summer is coming”), moving-ego (e.g., “we approach winter”), or sequence-as-position (e.g., “winter follows autumn”) across the world’s languages, including Chinese – a language that shows greater variability in its expression of such metaphors. Using a metaphor explanation and a metaphor comprehension task, we tested 60 children learning Chinese, equally divided into ages 3–…
Learning novel words for motion by speakers of structurally different languages
Speakers of different languages follow a three-way split in how they express motion events in speech—with a greater emphasis on manner in satellite-framed languages (English), path in verb-framed languages (Turkish), and comparable expression of manner and path in equipollently-framed languages (Chinese). According to the thinking-for-speaking account, these language-specific patterns can affect speakers’ representation of motion events but only …
Does dialect matter in the expression of motion? Ways of encoding manner and path in Babao and standard Mandarin
Blocking Effects in the Learning of Chinese Classifiers
This study investigated order-of-learning effects on the acquisition of classifier-noun associations in Chinese in two experiments modeled after Arnon and Ramscar's (2012) study of artificial language learning. In Experiment 1, learners with no prior exposure to Chinese showed better learning of classifier-noun associations when exposed to larger units (sentences) before smaller ones (words) than vice versa, replicating Arnon and Ramscar's findin…
