摘要本文探讨了意大利语儿童(3岁4个月至6岁2个月)被动句的理解和生产,分析了在以前的研究中观察到的其他语言(动词类型和存在的短语)与意大利语特定的变量:使用辅助venire“来”的变量。因为意大利语venire只可能在动词被动句中出现,所以这一特性对于确定儿童是否完全具备(动词)被动结构的能力至关重要。对含有venire的句子的理解的高准确率表明,事件式被动解释在儿童语言中是完全可用的,即使在3至4岁的儿童中也是如此。此外,幼儿产生的被动句中,无论是助词venire还是essere“to be”,也加上了by短语,从而明确证明,儿童控制动词被动句从很早就开始了。
ABSTRACT This paper investigates the comprehension and the production of passive sentences in Italian-speaking children (aged 3 years, 4 months to 6 years, 2 months) analyzing both the variables observed in previous studies on other languages (verb type and presence of the by-phrase) versus an Italian-specific variable: the use of auxiliary venire “to come.” Because Italian venire is only possible in verbal passives, this property is crucial to determine whether children have full competence of the (verbal) passive structure. The high percentage of accuracy in the comprehension of sentences containing venire suggests that the eventive passive interpretation is fully available in child language, even in 3- to 4-year-old children. Moreover, young children produce passive sentences with either auxiliary venire or essere “to be,” also adding the by-phrase, thus proving unambiguously that children control verbal passive sentences from very early on.
