Abstract:
UID/LIN/03213/2013 ; This study’s main objective is to see how children native speakers of European Portuguese acquire exhaustivity. This study compiles results previously obtained in Vaz (2010a, b) with a new study for universal quantification structures. For each test, 60 children were tested divided in three age groups (3, 4 and 5 years) and 20 adults as the control group. The results indicated that there is a significant difference between 4 and 5 year olds and that exhaustivity is associated with syntactic structure, even though it interacts with pragmatic factors. We concluded that exhaustivity is acquired at a different rate across structures (simple wh-questions > universal quantification > clefts > multiple whquestions), which we attribute to the varying complexity each display. Our results are in accordance with results found in other languages. ; publishersversion ; published
