幼儿对某几种复句的理解

Preschool Children's Comprehension of Some Types of Compound Sentences

本研究的目的是了解学前儿童对并列,递进、条件和选择复句的理解水平。被试为4、5、6岁儿童。结果表明4岁儿童基本上能理解带有“还”和“不是……而是”的复句,6岁儿童基本上能理解带有“不但……而且”,“只有”,“如果……那么”的复句。以“或者……或者”和“不是……就是”为连接词的复句,6岁儿童尚不能理解。理解的次序可能一方面取决于句子所表达的逻辑关系的复杂性和理解所需要的认知活动的困难程度。另一方面取决于语言的表达方式。

This Study is an endeavour to find out preschool children's levels ofunderstanding of coordinative,progressive,conditional and alternativecompound sentences.The subjects are4,5 and6 years old children.Theresults show that childten of 4 are ableto understand sentences with “and…aswell”and “not…but” by and larg.6-year-olds understand sentences with“not only…but also”,“only if”and“if…then”.Sentences with “or”and“either…or”cannot be understood by6-year-olds on the whole.The order ofcomprehension may be determined by,on the one hand,the complexity of thelogical relations expressed in differentsentences and the difficulty ofcognitive activities needed forunderstanding,and on the other,thelinguistic forms.
