This study investigated how Japanese children develop the usage of the argument structure when they learn artificial case markers “po” and “bi”. These respectively refer to the agent and patient of the action in the sentences. Previous research reported English speaking two-year-olds utilize the argument structure, especially the number of the arguments to learn verbs (Arunachalam and Waxman, 2010). However, it is still unclear if Japanese children utilize the
number of the arguments to learn case markers, and if utilization of the arguments are different among ages. The present study examined how and what age children can utilize the argument structure to learn “po” and “bi”. In order to investigate these points, we introduced “po” and “bi” to children (4yrs, 5yrs, 6yrs, 7yrs). One group of children was introduced to two
argument sentence (SOV: “rabbit po bear bi pushed”) and the other group to one argument sentence (SV: “rabbit po
pushed”, OV: “bear bi pushed”). In the test phase, we tested “po” and “bi” using four different types of sentences: SOV,
OSV, SV, and OV. Results showed five-year and seven-year old children did not use the two arguments to learn case
markers, especially the patient marker. Rather, they used the one argument to learn the patient marker. However, four-year
and six-year olds did not utilize the two arguments or one argument in learning “po” and “bi”. These results suggest children
utilize the one argument to learn the patient marker, and the utilization of the argument structure are different among ages. |
