Abstract

Background: verb acquisition.

Aim: to verify quantitative and qualitative verb diversity in the spontaneous speech of Brazilian Portuguese-speaking preschoolers and verb acquisition from 2 to 4 years of age.

Method: participants were sixty preschoolers equally matched on gender and age, divided into three groups: GI (2-year-old children), GII (3-year-old children) and GIII (4-year-old children). Spontaneous speech samples obtained through playing interactions, in educational contexts, were collected, and verb productions were listed.

Results: children used 167 different verbs. The quantitative analysis indicated significant statistical differences between all groups (p< .001), with gradual increase of verb usage from 2 to 4 years of age. However, no statistical difference (p= .956) was observed between genders.

Conclusion: preschoolers improved their use of verbs during the initial stages of language acquisition, irrespective of their gender.

巴西学龄前儿童自发言语中的动词多样性分析。

背景:动词习得。目的:验证巴西葡语学龄前儿童自发言语中的数量和质量动词多样性以及2 ~ 4岁儿童的动词习得情况。方法:参与者为60名性别和年龄相等的学龄前儿童，分为三组:GI(2岁儿童)，GII(3岁儿童)和GIII(4岁儿童)。在教育背景下，通过游戏互动获得的自发言语样本被收集，并列出动词的产生。结果:孩子们使用了167个不同的动词。定量分析显示各组间差异有统计学意义(p< 0.001)，从2岁到4岁动词使用逐渐增加。但性别间无统计学差异(p= .956)。结论:学龄前儿童在语言习得的初始阶段提高了他们对动词的使用，与性别无关。
