Personal Pronouns and Verb Person Inflections: Relations with Linguistic Development and Social Understanding
Original language description
The early use of personal pronouns has often been considered as a sign of the emerging social understanding in children. Also the use of mental state language (MSL) marks children's understanding of the social world. The present study tested if the use of pronouns and MSL in early language productions is related, after accounting for the general level of language development. In addition to pronouns, verb inflections for first and second person were examined as alternative person-referring devices. The analyses used language transcripts from 58 children aged 30 months, and a lexical and grammatical comprehension task. The results show that the use of person reference, both by pronouns or verb inflections, is uniquely related to the use of mental state language as well as general language development. This implies that early use of first- and second-person reference depends both on the development of social understanding and general language development.
