ABSTRACT

Crosslinguistic research into language development reveals that typological features determine children’s developmental patterns to a large extent. The present study examines the early morphological development in the verb inflectional paradigm in Bangla. Data from the first 6 months since the emergence of two-word combinations were collected from a monolingual Bangla-speaking child. Emergence of individual inflectional markers and their error patterns were identified, and interpreted with references to a range of proposals and crosslinguistic findings. The results are of significance for building a developmental profile of typically-developing Bangla-speaking children as we all for measuring the levels of development in atypically-developing children.

摘要

语言发展的跨语言研究表明，类型特征在很大程度上决定了儿童的发展模式。本研究考察了孟加拉语动词屈折范式的早期形态发展。自两个单词组合出现以来的前 6 个月的数据是从一个说孟加拉语的单语儿童那里收集的。个体屈折标记的出现及其错误模式被确定，并参考一系列建议和跨语言研究结果进行解释。这些结果对于建立典型发育的孟加拉语儿童的发育概况具有重要意义，因为我们都可以衡量非典型发育儿童的发育水平。
