- W26024041 abstract "A proficient narrative has consistency in anchoring favored tense. This consistency is considered one of the criteria for the development of child language in narrative discourse. Generally narrators can choose either past or present tense in recounting events. Another factor in evaluating proficient narrative is appropriate tense shifting1in narrative discourse. The present study investigated the way Japanese children learn to use grammatical tense in narrative discourse. It centered on the developmental changes of temporal marking in Japanese narratives from two respects: a dominant tense and tense shifting. The research on dominant tense involved examining what tense Japanese children and adults favored for tellingthe story, and to what extent they are consistent in reliance on thisform either present or past as an for the narrative as a whole in a larger set of Japanese narratives. Tense shiftingwas discussed with the dominant tense, displaying how they switch past and present tense in accordance with the demands of a thematically organized and cohesive narrative. Prior research conducted by Berman and Slobin (1994) demonstrated that younger children do not always manage to adhere to a single grammatical tense, but older children and adults maintained consistently a favored tense throughout the narration. The developmental change occurs from perceptually-motivated choice of tense/aspect forms to narratively-motivated choice. In the course of development, the childlearns to use the expressive options of a particular native language to carry out narrative-discourse functions. That is to say, forms acquire broader and more discourse-motivated functions across different developmental phases, although the languages themselves differin the extent to which a structural option is exploited by speakers. Their study dealt with narratives in five differentlanguages, that is English, German, Spanish, Turkey, and Hebrew, but it did not include research on the Japanese language. This study, then, attempted to examine whether the above-mentioned developmental features presented by Berman and Slobin (1994) were confirmed in regard to the development of Japanese as a firstlanguage, since the linguisticrepresentations of tense/ aspectual marking and the range of linguistic options available in Japanese are much different from those five languages. The method of the study is in the following. Oral narratives elicitedfrom Japanese children aged from 3to 11-year olds and adults were used to fulfillthe present study. The narrative texts were classifiedinto three categories: dominant PAST, PRESENT, and MIXED tense (see 2.3),since in Japanese narratives either the present or the past can be the dominant or anchor form. The main concern of the study is to demonstrate the developmental changes of the favored anchor tense by Japanese children and adults. It also pays particular attention to universal features of development, and language-(Japanese-) specific features of linguistic development. The firstanalysis presented the dominant tense favored by Japanese children and adults across ages, and characterizes the tense shiftingat each age. The second analysis compared the results from Japanese children and adults with those of English-speaking children and adults in order to demonstrate the universal and the specificfeature of Japanese, showing the similaritiesand differences between them. The findings of the study were discussed in crosslinguisticdevelopmental perspective, examining the above-mentioned developmental processes of tense/aspect forms and functions in narrative discourse found by Berman and Slobin (1994)." @default.
