Locative Case Marking and Abstraction in Child Hungarian
نویسنده
چکیده
This study asked whether contextual abstractness would affect productive locative case marking in 3to 6year-old Hungarian-speaking children. A narrative elicitation task examined locative case production in both concrete (e.g., IN the garden) and abstract (e.g., IN trouble) contexts. We found that 3-year-olds were less accurate in the abstract condition than controls. By contrast, there was no effect of age in the concrete condition. These results suggest that at 3 years of age children do not yet have a fully generalized rule or schema for locative case marking in Hungarian.

Object drawings overlaid with a dot/arrow marking position/movement were matched with corresponding linguistic expressions like "from the house". To test whether the stem dominates lexical-semantic access irrespective of its position, we used Swedish prepositional phrases (locative information...

In this study, we examined Hungarian utterances that were identical in their segmental structure, but differed with regard to their semantic and pragm...

In Lajamanu Warlpiri, pronominal cl...
