Little attention has been paid to the expansion in the use of connectives in children that are acquiring Spanish as a first language. Considering that language structure emerges from language use, naturalistic data were utilised from two conversational corpora. 12 types of connectives showed significant expansion, with the conditional conjunction si 'if' presenting the greatest advance, followed by que 'that' used as relative pronoun with explicit antecedent and as completive conjunction. We observed that the interordination and subordination relationships progressed more than those of coordination; however, certain connective elements between coordinated constructions displayed a more notable expansion as discourse markers, in the interactional level.
人们对正在习得西班牙语作为第一语言的儿童在连接词使用上的扩展关注甚少。鉴于语言结构源自语言使用,本研究从两个会话语料库中利用了自然主义数据。12 种类型的连接词显示出显著的扩展,条件连词 si“如果”表现出最大的进展,其次是 que“那个”,用作关系代词和完成连词。我们观察到,并列关系和从属关系的发展超过了并列关系;然而,在互动层面上,作为话语标记,并列结构之间的某些连接元素表现出更为显著的扩展。
