Ground-marking in children's narratives: data from Croatian-speaking children
There is no doubt that languages differ in how they describe space (Levinson, 2003). However, despite their diversity, there are two cognitive-semantic categories, Figure and Ground, which are considered as fundamental in describing spatial events of motion or location (Talmy, 2000). Each object is taken as bearing to whole event a significant and distinct relation, termed as figure or ground. Following Talmy (2000), the Ground is a reference entity, one that has stationery setting relative to a reference frame, with respect to which the Figure’ s path, site or orientation is characterized. Considering nature of spatial event, there are different kinds of grounds: static location at the ground, goal of motion and source of motion. This paper explores distribution of different kinds of grounds and it’ s marking in narratives of 5-, 8- and 10- year-old children. Children were asked to tell the picture story “ Frog, where are you?” (Mayer, 1969). Their narration was tape-recorded and afterwards, transcribed. Transcripts were analyzed regarding ground-kinds and ways that child use to mark ground. Also, the error analysis was conveyed. The results will give an overview of patterns of ground-marking characteristic for certain age, an overview of errors that children make as well as developmental changes in ground-marking of Croatian-speaking children.
