Semantic meaning and pragmatic interpretation in 5-year-olds: evidence from real-time spoken language comprehension.
Recent research on children's inferencing has found that although adults typically adopt the pragmatic interpretation of some (implying not all), 5- to 9-year-olds often prefer the semantic interpretation of the quantifier (meaning possibly all). Do these failures reflect a breakdown of pragmatic competence or the metalinguistic demands of prior tasks? In 3 experiments, the authors used the vis...

The distinction between semantics (linguistically-encoded meaning) and pragmatics (inferences about communicative intentions) can often be unclear and counter-intuitive. For example, linguistic theories argue that the meaning of some encompasses the meaning of all while the intuition that some implies not all results from an inference. We explored how online interpretation of some evolves usin...

متن کاملMeaning from syntax: evidence from 2-year-olds.

The current work takes this finding one step further to reveal that even in the absence of an accompanying event, syntactic information supports toddlers' identification of verb meaning. Two-year-olds were first introduced to dialogues incorporating novel verbs ...
