- W39722182 abstract "This study examined word meanings in the single word period of language learning. Ten children were seen for 5 hours each month from the time they started learning language until their median length of utterance was 2.5 words. All the children's utterances, and the extralinguistic contexts of the utterances, such as objects and movements, were recorded. Two issues involving words used in relation to movement were addres92d: (1) whether words encoded events or were merely associates of events in the manner described in the literatur9 as complexive; and (2) the kinds of events words encoded when they did encode events. Words used by four or more children were analyzed. These words included four verbs, four spatial prepositions, one possessive adjective, and one noun. All but one of the words used in the absence of movement indicated a request implying movement. Thi-J, the words were not being used complexively. It was not clear what aspects of movement were being encoded. The evidence that the words were used for others' selves as well as the child's self suggests that the words were not used to encode intentional behavior of a person.

In this study, we followed 10 children. They were seen for 5 haus each month, from the very start of language learning until their MLU was 2.5. We recorded all utterances the children produced, together with their extralinguistic contexts--the objects present, their properties, movements, locations, etc. The purpose of the study was to examine word ri.T.4 meanings in the single word period. Hence for each different word that appeared in the single word period, we examined all uses and grouped words in terms of the aspects of contexts in which they frequently occuned. We found that the words acquired very early in language learning, between 12 and 18 months, fell into different classes. For two of these classes, there were many words. In one class, each of the words was used chiefly in the presence of small objects of a particular kind. In the other class, each of ;lie vords was used chiefly in relation to movements of a particular kind. In addition, there were other classes of words, such as person names, greetings, etc. Here I will be concerned with those early words that were often used in relation to movements of particular kinds. I will call them event words. They include a few verbs, notably oca and Lit, but mainly w .Ads that are not verbs, like down and a. I want to take up two issues regarding these early event wonis. The first issue is whether the words actually encode events, or are merely associates of events in the manner described in the literature as complexive. iram4 Thf; second issue is one which arises because these early event words itg encode events, namely, ria4 what king5 of events they encode. In exploring both of these issues, we examine, for each word, 04) the extralinguistic contexts of use in the single word period. In addition, in exploring the second issue, we trace each word into the multi-word period, examining how it is used in combination rad with other words.
