Our aim in this article is to argue that an adequate account of semantic development early ®rst language acquisition requires a theory and methodology synthesize the insights cognitive cultural linguistics with Vygotskian sociocultural approach human development. This involves recasting extending notion embodiment, which central philosophical underpinning linguistics. We discuss evidence from cross-linguistic cross-cultural study spatial development, current controversies regarding...
Significance Although much research has been devoted to the acquisition of number words, relatively little is known about other expressions quantity. We propose that order quantifiers related features inherent meaning each term. Four specific dimensions and use are found capture robust similarities in similar ways across 31 languages, representing 11 language types.
This study develops a single elicitation method to test the acquisition of third-person pronominal objects in 5-year-olds for 16 languages. methodology allows us compare pronominals languages that lack object clitics ("pronoun languages") with employ relevant context ("clitic languages"), thus establishing robust cross-linguistic baseline domain clitic and pronoun production 5-year-olds. High rates are found our results, indicating children have pragmatic knowledge required select discourse...
This cross-linguistic study evaluates children's understanding of passives in 11 typologically different languages: Catalan, Cypriot Greek, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Finnish, German, Hebrew, Lithuanian, and Polish. The intends to determine whether the reported gaps between comprehension active passive short full hold cross-linguistically. present offers two major findings. first is relative ease which 5-year-old children across languages are able comprehend constructions (compared...
The Planetary Data System (PDS) provides key structural support for Open Science by meeting the tenants of "Free, unrestricted access1.” Here we will discuss need to expand our offerings improving OS "Ease use.”Analysis-ready data (ARD) in formats that, while different than what was provided mission team, are orders magnitude more useful scientific researchers. For NASA Missions, is us stable and long-term that well documented.  However, each typically...
ABSTRACT This study examines the comprehension and production of subject object relative clauses (SRCs, ORCs) by children with Specific Language Impairment (SLI) their typically developing (TD) peers. The purpose is to investigate whether are problematic for Danish SLI compare errors those produced TD children. Eighteen SLI, eighteen age-matched (AM) nine language-matched (LM) Danish-speaking participated in a task. All performed better on compared task, as well SRCs ORCs various avoidance...

Multiple cognitive skills support the acquisition of proficient reading skills. Higher order processing abilities allowing engagement and integration multiple ideas collectively referred to as executive functions may be particularly important in comprehension. In present study, 39 Danish school age children completed function tasks tapping flexibility working memory, well measures comprehension, nonword reading, receptive language nonverbal intelligence. Results revealed that unique variance...
Background and aims Language abilities vary greatly across children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). In the present study, we investigate passive sentence comprehension, which has been underexplored among individuals found to be delayed other clinical populations. This study is first assess grammatical comprehension Danish-speaking adolescents disorders. Methods Fifteen (mean age: 14.9 years; age range: 13–18 years) participated in a picture selection task assessing of sentences...
