Relations between prosodic variables and communicative functions
Open AccessJudy Flax, Judy F Flax et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child Language1991
Three children were observed interacting with their mothers at three different times: before the onset of single words, when vocabulary consisted of 10 words, and when vocabulary consisted of 50 words. Relations between communicative functions and acoustic analyses of prosodie variables (i.e. rise vs. nonrise of terminal contours) were studied. Considerable variability was found among the children in the number of rises produced overall and those…
Learning to in complement constructions
Open AccessLois Bloom, Jo Tackeff et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child Language1984
The acquisition of to in infinitive complement structure was examined in the spontaneous speech data from four children, who were observed longitudinally from two to three years of age. The children learned to as a complementizer connective in the context of a small group of verbs and other matrix forms that take a verb phrase complement. They did not learn to in the context of the complement verbs to mark the infinitive. Secondly, the children l…
The dissolution of text in written language
Margaret LaheyARTICLEDiscourse Processes1984Cited by: 1References: 14
Evidence of the dissolution of text was examined in written logs kept daily for 4 1/2 years by a woman who suffered from cerebral atrophy of unknown origin. There were systematic changes in the use of inter‐ and intrasentence cohesive devices and in the narrative structure of the texts. The patterns observed were similar to those that have been reported in the oral narratives of adults where focal lesion of the brain resulted in the precipitous l…
Complex sentences
Open AccessLois Bloom, Margaret Lahey et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child Language1980
The acquisition of connective forms and the meaning relations between connected clauses in the development of complex sentences is described for four children from two to three years of age. The major results of the study include the developmental interactions between syntactic connectives and meaning relations, and between these interactions and the discourse environments in which they occurred. The first syntactic connective the children learne…
