The study characterizes developmental trends in early Hebrew clause-combining (CC) by analyzing the interplay between linguistic form and communicative function in different interactional settings. Analysis applied to all utterances produced by three children aged 2; 0-3 ;0 who combined two or more clauses, either self-initiated or on the basis of adult input. Ten types of CC were analyzed for marking by connectives (e.g., the Hebrew equivalents of 'and', 'that', 'so'). Four shared consecutive developmental phases emerged: non-marking; partial marking by 'and' and 'that'; use of 'but' and 'because', favored significantly in interlocutor-supported contexts; marking of adverbial relations and more varied use of še- 'that'. These CC processes are interpreted as reflecting general properties of language development, in the form of gradually increasing specification of form-function relations under the impact of interlocutor-child interactive support combined with Hebrew-particular typological factors.
该研究通过分析不同互动情境中语言形式与交际功能之间的相互作用，刻画了早期希伯来语从句组合（CC）的发展趋势。分析适用于三名年龄在2岁至3岁之间的儿童所产生的所有话语，这些儿童将两个或更多从句进行组合，这些组合或是自发的，或是基于成人的输入。对十种类型的从句组合进行了分析，以确定其是否由连词（例如希伯来语中相当于“和”“that”“所以”的词）进行标记。出现了四个连续的共同发展阶段：无标记；由“和”与“that”进行部分标记；使用“但是”和“因为”，在对话者支持的情境中使用频率显著更高；状语关系的标记以及“še-‘that’”的更多样化使用。这些从句组合过程被解释为反映了语言发展的一般特性，其形式为在对话者与儿童互动支持以及希伯来语特定类型因素的影响下，形式-功能关系的逐渐细化。
