Description
(Text)
Diese Monographie beschäftigt sich mit dem Erstspracherwerb und dem Gebrauch von Ja/Nein-Fragen im Englischen. Im ersten Teil erfolgt eine umfassende Aufarbeitung des Forschungsstandes aus linguistischer Perspektive, unter besonderer Berücksichtigung von Spracherwerbsstudien und der Behandlung von Ja/Nein-Fragen in Referenzgrammatiken. Der zweite Teil stellt eine Reihe von empirischen Untersuchungen vor. Auf der Basis authentischer Sprachdaten werden hierbei sowohl Erwerbsverläufe als auch die vielfältigen kommunikativen Funktionen von Ja/Nein-Fragen eingehend analysiert.

(Text)
This monograph offers a comprehensive account of the L1-acquisition and use of yes-no questions in English from a usage-based, construction grammar perspective. On the basis of the BNC and a high-density, longitudinal CHILDES corpus, the book explores two issues which have largely been neglected in previous research: 1. the prevalence of non-canonical questions (such as elliptical and declarative questions) in adult-to-adult as well as child(-directed) speech and the L1-acquisition of these structures. 2. The discourse-functional properties of both canonical and non-canonical yes-no questions, especially with regard to their influence on the acquisition process.
