Chinese Children's Acquisition Of Logical Domain Of Universal Quantifier Interrogative Sentences

The phenomenon of quantifier scope has always been the focus of linguists' research.When quantifier and question word coexist,it may cause sentence ambiguity and quantifier scope ambiguity.From the perspective of logic,this paper explores children's interpretation of quantifier domain ambiguity by combining the logical semantics of quantifier,compares the differences within children and between children and adults,and studies children's ability to interpret relevant sentences and disambiguation by combining the logical semantics of quantifier.The article consists of six chapters.The first chapter is the introduction,which introduces the background,purpose,content,value,and significance of the study.The second chapter introduces the theoretical basis,the theoretical research on the scope of English and Chinese quantifiers,and the research on the scope acquisition of children quantifiers.Finally,the achievements and shortcomings of previous studies are summarized.The third chapter is an experiment about Chinese children's interpretation of universal quantifier interrogatives.Firstly,the research problems that need to be solved in this experiment are explained.Then,the design,methods,materials and data processing methods of the experiment are introduced.Finally,a summary of the analysis is made for the experimental data.Experimental results show that the children at the age of three to four randomly selected reading way,there was no significant difference for two kinds of reading way,they can't rely on universal quantifier logic semantics to choose corresponding reading way,distribution of 4 to 5years old children than just more willing to accept a collection of quantifiers,after 5to 6 years old and adult,can choose according to quantifier semantic corresponding to the interpretation of the way.The language system of children is gradually transitioning to the adult system as they grow older.Different from foreign studies,children and adults showed no obvious preference for the two methods when interpreting quantifier scope clauses containing quantitative phrases.The fourth chapter is about the disambiguation experiment of children with the help of syntax.It is found that children aged 3-4 can not completely rely on syntactic disambiguation and the accuracy rate is low,but with the increase of age and cognitive level,children aged 5-6 can disambiguate as accurately as adults.The fifth chapter is the comprehensive discussion part,from the results found that children of quantifier scope of acquisition and the characteristics of different process continuity and order,and analyses the children after the first master collection righteousness master distribution justice order related to their logical thinking ability,and also points out that the number of individual function of internal logic,quantifier phrase can affect people's reading way.The sixth chapter summarizes the research results of this paper,and points out the problems of this research and the prospect of future research.
