The paper aims at bringing to the fore some aspects related to the creativity of young children acquiring Romanian as their mother tongue when they use language in everyday, casual conversation. First, we shall look at the ‘faulty’ pronunciations of their words and at the processes that lie behind them and then we shall move on to the way in which they coin new terms when their lexicons have not yet acquired the usual words for a specific referent. The data employed for this study have been collected in time, from children (aged between 1 and 5 years) of friends and colleagues of mine, as well as from my own child. A comparison with children acquiring other languages (such as English, German and Polish) indicates that there are many similarities in the process of language acquisition among children, but at the same time, there are also language specific features and child-particular tendencies. The framework employed for the analysis is Slobin’s (1985) ‘developmental universals’ and ‘particulars’.
Abstract
The paper aims at bringing to the fore some aspects related to the creativity of young children acquiring Romanian as their mother tongue when they use language in everyday, casual conversation. First, we shall look at the ‘faulty’ pronunciations of their words and at the processes that lie behind them and then we shall move on to the way in which they coin new terms when their lexicons have not yet acquired the usual words for a specific referent. The data employed for this study have been collected in time, from children (aged between 1 and 5 years) of friends and colleagues of mine, as well as from my own child. A comparison with children acquiring other languages (such as English, German and Polish) indicates that there are many similarities in the process of language acquisition among children, but at the same time, there are also language specific features and child-particular tendencies. The framework employed for the analysis is Slobin’s (1985) ‘developmental universals’ and ‘particulars’.
