Überblick

Vor dem Auftreten von Zwei-Wort-Äußerungen sind schon zusammenhängende Konstruktionen, sog. vertikale Konstruktionen, zu beobachten.

 

Definition

zwei oder mehr Einheiten, die auf irgendeine Art verbunden sind, aber mit getrennter Intonationskontur geäußert werden

 

Typen

  1. consists of two one-word utterances in close succession with silence before and after; the words are linkes in construction but not in intonational contour; by 'linked' I mean that there is a definite semantic connection between the words that is appropriate to the context; these separate words taken together perform a single speech act; the latest to appear.
     
  2. either word or both words may be repeated; appears much earlier than type A.
     
  3. like type A, two words are linked semantically and without repetition; however, in these constructions the speech of another speaker intervenes; like a topic-comment structure; adult question may have the effect of asking for a constituent to fill out by the child
     
  4. combination of type B and C; that is, any of the words may be repeated and there is the intervention of other speakers.
