摘要
Halliday(1975:239-265)所说的儿童语言发展过渡阶段(或第二阶段)是观察儿童如何从原型语言逐步过渡到成人语言的最佳时段。现有研究成果关注的都是儿童早期学习表达意义的各个阶段有哪些语言功能以及这些功能是如何一一得到体现的。本文将通过个案研究的方式来探索中国儿童是如何逐步掌握母语的下列八个子系统而学会表达不同意义的:1)宏观功能(macrofucntion);2)及物性(transitivity);3)人称(person);4)语气(mood);5)归一度(polarity);6)体(aspect);7)象似性(iconicity);8)逻辑连接性(logical connectivity)。本研究发现同一子系统中的各个选项不是在某个时间同时出现,并从儿童的成长规律角度对上述发现提供了初步的解释。
What Halliday (1975) calls the transition period or Phase II is the best time to observe how a child leaves his protolanguage and enters adult language. The previous publications have focused on what functions there are in each phase and how they are realized. This paper, however, will attempt to find out through a ease study how a Chinese child learns to mean by gradual development of the following eight subsystems of the Chinese language : 1 ) macrofucntion ; 2) transitivity ; 3 ) person; 4) mood; 5) polarity; 6 ) aspect ; 7) iconicity; and 8 ) logical connectivity. Tentative explanations will be given for the finding that the options within the same subsystem are not developed at the same time.
