Abstract:

This book offers a systematic study of the emergence and early development of
compound nouns in first language acquisition from a cross-linguistic and
typological perspective. The language sample is both genealogically and
typologically diversified, ranging from languages rich in compounds, such as
German, Saami, Estonian and Finnish, to languages poor in compounds, such as
French. Some of them differ in compound richness according to genres of
adult-directed speech in contrast to child-directed speech and thus also child
speech, like Russian, Lithuanian and especially Greek. Differences in the
delimitation and transition between compounds and phrases and in the
distribution of subtypes of compounds in these languages involve great
typological variety and thus different tasks for children acquiring them. The
eleven languages investigated in the volume and the common methodology of
longitudinal collection of spontaneous speech data concerning the interaction
between children and their caretakers or peers, supplemented by lexical
typology as a new means of cross-linguistic comparison of language
acquisition, allow new generalizations and make the volume a unique
contribution.
