Book Development of Pragmatic and Discourse Skills in Chinese Speaking Children

Download or read book Development of Pragmatic and Discourse Skills in Chinese Speaking Children written by Zhu Hua and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2014-05-15 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many years, studies of the development of pragmatic and discourse skills in young children have predominantly focused on English and other European languages, as with the field of child language development in general. This volume, originally published in Chinese Language and Discourse 3:1 (2012), brings together a team of researchers from China, the UK, USA, Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan. It explores the development of pragmatic and discourse skills among Chinese-speaking children by investigating the development of pragmatic features specific to the Chinese language and culture (i.e. the use of null forms and overt forms in self/other reference and time expressions), socio-cultural factors in child-directed speech and comprehension of semiotic resources in children’s early childhood. The studies reported in the volume draw upon data of different kinds including recorded spontaneous speech, corpus, questionnaires and experimental data. The findings not only highlight a number of developmental patterns which may be attributed to the Chinese language(s) and culture, but also contribute to the understanding of some key issues in the development of pragmatic and discourse skills irrespective of linguistic backgrounds.

Abstract: ABSTRACT This study analyzes the use of "hai2dou6" as a verbal prefix and a verbal suffix to denote aspectual notions. This is a corpus-based study. The analysis is based on authentic spoken and written data from Hong Kong Cantonese Adult Language Corpus (HKCAC) and the journals of 32 Form Three students in Hong Kong. The use of "hai2dou6" is compared with the two aspect markers, "gan2" and "zyu6," which indicates an activity in progress and a continuing state respectively. The results showed that "hai2dou6" is used less frequently than "gan2" and "zyu6." Considering the distribution and use of "hai2dou6," it is suggested that "hai2dou6" as a verbal prefix is not an aspect marker while "hai2dou6" as a verbal suffix is.

Book Da Kine Talk

Download or read book Da Kine Talk written by Elizabeth Ball Carr and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2019-03-31 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hawaii is without parallel as a crossroads where languages of East and West have met and interacted. The varieties of English (including neo-pidgin) heard in the Islands today attest to this linguistic and cultural encounter. "Da kine talk" is the Island term for the most popular of the colorful dialectal forms--speech that captures the flavor of Hawaii's multiracial community and reflects the successes (and failures) of immigrants from both East and West in learning to communicate in English.
