Abstract:

Semantics usually deals with adult language, and language acquisitionusually is studied from the perspective of syntax or from a functionalperspective, but not systematically from a formal semantic one.

This volume contains a collection of writings that focuses on semanticphenomena and their interpretation in the analysis of the language of alearner. The variety of phenomena that are addressed is substantial:temporal aspect and tense, specificity, quantification, scope, finiteness,focus structure, and focus particles. The number of languages in whichthese phenomena are investigated is very large as well: Dutch, English,German, Inuktitut, Italian, Japanese, and Polish, to name a few. The volumecreates a theoretical as well as an empirical bridge between semanticresearch on the one hand and psycholinguistic acquisition studies on the other.
