Abstract:

For many years, studies of the development of pragmatic and discourse skills
in young children have predominantly focused on English and other European
languages, as with the field of child language development in general. This
volume, originally published in Chinese Language and Discourse 3:1 (2012),
brings together a team of researchers from China, the UK, USA, Hong Kong,
Macao, and Taiwan. It explores the development of pragmatic and discourse
skills among Chinese-speaking children by investigating the development of
pragmatic features specific to the Chinese language and culture (i.e. the use
of null forms and overt forms in self/other reference and time expressions),
socio-cultural factors in child-directed speech and comprehension of semiotic
resources in children’s early childhood. The studies reported in the volume
draw upon data of different kinds including recorded spontaneous speech,
corpus, questionnaires and experimental data. The findings not only highlight
a number of developmental patterns which may be attributed to the Chinese
language(s) and culture, but also contribute to the understanding of some key
issues in the development of pragmatic and discourse skills irrespective of
linguistic backgrounds.
