How is multimodality used in early communication: Relationships with pragmatic function, referential-specificity level, and grammar
This study assessed if early multimodality increasingly involves more mature productions, in a pragmatic (i.e., declaratives) and referential (i.e., words) sense, and if it is associated with grammar, which would point to multimodality’s role in language development. Data is derived from the spontaneous multimodal behaviours of 8-to-28-month-old Peruvian children, along with data collected with the MacArthur-Bates Communicative Development Invent…
Pragmatic development in Peruvian children: Modality and lexical development between 8 and 15 months of age
This study examines how 8- to 15-month-old Peruvian children 1 ( N = 18) express pragmatic functions in terms of the modality and referential-specificity level of each communicative behaviour. Results show that pragmatic functions were expressed mainly via the vocal modality, primarily with vocalisations; nevertheless, specific functional patterns were found: declaratives involved more use of words, and imperatives more use of gestures. While old…
Early vocabulary in two varieties of South American Spanish: Quantitative and qualitative differences
This article presents a cross-cultural comparison of the size and composition of the expressive vocabulary of young children speaking two dialectal varieties of South American Spanish. Ninety-one Peruvian and 91 Argentinian toddlers (mean age: 22.5 months), matched on gender, age and maternal education, were assessed through the respective adaptations of the MacArthur-Bates Communicative Development Inventories. Results revealed a vocabulary grow…
Gesture development in Peruvianchildren and its relationship with vocalizations and vocabulary
We examine gestural development, and correlations between gesture types, vocalizations and vocabulary at ages 8 to 15 months, employing data from MacArthur-Bates Communicative Development Inventories for Peruvian Spanish, in the first such study with Peruvian children. Results show (1) significant change with age in the production of gesture types, with older children producing more; (2) important correlations between gesture types, and both voca…
Qué comprenden y dicen los niños peruanos en la primera infancia? Resultados preliminares de tamaño y composición del vocabulario entre los 8 y los 30 meses de edad
Analizamos el tamaño y la composición del vocabulario comprensivo y productivo de niños peruanos hablantes de castellano en dos grupos de edad: de 8 a 15 y de 16 a 30 meses. Buscamos cambios significativos de tamaño en función de la edad y el género de los niños. En cuanto a la composición del vocabulario, consideramos solo aquellos ítems que ocupan las primeras 50 posiciones en tanto son comprendidos o producidos por mínimo el 50% de los niños, …
Proceso de adaptación de los Inventarios de Desarrollo Comunicativo MacArthur-Bates al castellano estándar del Perú
Presentamos aquí el proceso de adaptación de los MacArthur-Bates Communicative Development Inventories (CDI) al castellano peruano estándar y la versión de los inventarios resultado de este proceso. Estos son una herramienta para el estudio de la comunicación temprana (gestos y vocalizaciones), el vocabulario inicial y las primeras construcciones gramaticales, así como determinadas acciones y juegos típicos en el desarrollo, para niños entre 8 y …
Assessing child bilingualism: Direct assessment of bilingual syntax amends caretaker report
Aims and objectives: In this paper we investigate measures for the evaluation of a child’s bilingualism. Methodology: We compare a caretaker report on the estimated quantity and quality of a child’s bilingualism to results from direct assessment of the bilingual child’s production of complex sentences in Korean and English. We adopt an integrated methodology in which two case studies, closely matched on caretaker report and general background, ar…
Syntactic Development in the L1 of Spanish-English Bilingual Children
In this exploratory study of subtractive bilingualism in Spanish-English bilingual children, we present evidence that crosslinguistic influence has a selective effect on heritage first language loss. Differences in feature strength between English and Spanish in interrogative and negative polarity item (NPI) sentences seem to affect the development of these structures in Spanish more than that of negative sentences. While the children in this stu…
