dc.description.abstract | The comprehension of constituent questions is an important topic for language acquisition
research and for applications in the diagnosis of language impairment. This article presents
the results of a study investigating the comprehension of different types of questions
by 5-year-old, typically developing children across 19 European countries, 18 different
languages, and 7 language (sub-)families. The study investigated the effects of two factors
on question formation: (a) whether the question contains a simple interrogative word like
‘who’ or a complex one like ‘which princess’, and (b) whether the question word was related
to the sentential subject or object position of the verb. The findings show that there is
considerable variation among languages, but the two factors mentioned consistently affect
children’s performance. The cross-linguistic variation shows that three linguistic factors
facilitate children’s understanding of questions: having overt case morphology, having a
single lexical item for both ‘who’ and ‘which’, and the use of synthetic verbal forms. | sr |
