THE DEVELOPMENTAL PATHS IN TURKISH CHILDREN’S EARLY LEXICAL COMPOSITION

Abstract

This paper describes general developmental changes in Turkish children’s early lexicon. Also, these lexical patterns are discussed in terms of interindividual paths. A point of view integrating language and cognition is taken to explain the growth trajectories in this research. In the related field, to understand the cognitive bases children stand on, the interaction between language growth and conceptual development has been investigated. In recent years, a significant body of research has accumulated both in individual and cross linguistic studies concerning the parallel objectives. The objective of this study is to observe Turkish children’s language growth patterns in the light of the related findings to observe whether there were shared patterns with French, Spanish, English and Swedish children’s language development mentioned by researchers in the field. The overall aim of this study is to see whether Turkish children’s early lexical composition follows the three waves (from reference to predicates then to grammatical items) regarding the pattern of English speaking children’s lexicon, then that of French children. With these aims in mind, the longitudinal data of five Turkish children in their routine interactions with their mothers were analysed. The findings are generally in keeping with the related research findings. As for interindividual variation, one early and one late talker was compared into each other.
