A theoretical and exprerimental study on recostruction effects in the first language acquisition

本研究的真值判断任务显示，4-5岁的英语儿童（平均年龄4；8岁）对重构现象的解释是一致的，其中错位的元素应该在启动位置进行解释。这一系列实验调查了儿童是否像成年人一样掌握了某些结构的连接效应，同时完善了涉及重建的理论分析。我们发现，4岁的孩子已经有能力解释需要重建的句子。报告这些实验结果的论文已被Studia Linguistica接受发表。

In this study, a truth value judgment task revealed that 4-5 year-old English-speaking child participants (mean age 4;8) consistently interpreted reconstruction phenomena, where the dislocated elements should be interpreted in the launch positions.The series of experiments investigated whether children have command of connectivity effects in certain constructions as adults do, while refining the theoretical analysis involved with reconstruction. We found that 4 year-old children alread have had the ablity to interpret the setences which require the reconsruction. The paper that reports these results of our experiments has been accepted for publication by Studia Linguistica.
