Comprehension of the quantifiers "some" and "all" was |
|
studied with 202 children, three to nine years old. |
|
Thirty-two quantifier sentences dealing with descriptions |
|
of circles and squares were presented to the children. |
|
Wooden objects were presented to some children to see if |
|
results were affected by the choice of abstract objects, |
|
but no differences were found. The relationship of "over- |
|
interpreting" quantifiers to acquisition was analyzed. |
|
"Over-interpretation" is to understand "all" as occupying |
|
both possible sentence positions: as a sentence |
|
quantifier and as a quantifier in an adjective phrase. |
|
Interpretations of "all" as an adverb and as an adjective |
|
are analyzed, and deep structure positions and over- |
|
interpretation are discussed. "Double-some" sentences, |
|
the extensive"some," the intensive "some," reversals, and |
|
quantifier order are also discussed. (SW) |
