The role of grammar factors and visual context in Norwegian children's pronoun resolution

چکیده
Most personal pronouns have one entry in the mental lexicon, but they can have different referents depending on the context they appear in. They are sometimes fairly ambiguous. There is also evidence that pronoun resolution is impaired in many developmental deficits. Children have to learn how to find the intended referent, but we do not know much about how resolution strategies are acquired. How do visual context and syntactic context influence children’s pronoun processing? Using eye-tracking, we investigate for the first time the development of Norwegian children’s pronoun resolution competencies in their L1.
