5. 二、佛格森論baby-talk
1. 簡化:
• 簡化句子的形式
e.g. “Daddy go work”
• 動詞和修飾詞較少:
• 用名詞代替代名詞:Baby wont apple.
• 語音簡化: tummy for stomach
• 詞彙量小: 集中於身體部位、動物、食物、人名
(1) Daddy is going to work.
(2) Daddy went to work.
(3) Daddy has gone to work.
12. 四、紐波特等人的研究
1. 單純的被動句簡單)
Kim was arrested by the police yesterday.
2. 問句+被動句複雜)
Was Kim arrested by the police yesterday?
3. 問句、被動句即否定句:(更複雜)
Wasn't Kim arrested by the police yesterday?
21. 六、發現的程序
8. The book weighted one kilogram.
9. *One kilogram was weighted by the book.
不能預測的位置:
10. Meg sent the book away.
11. *Meg sent away the book.
用 it 代替the book
12. Meg sent it away. (O)
13. Meg sent away it. (X)
