Using the picture-elicitation technique,the present study investigates the use of NP forms and syntactic positions in marking(in)definiteness by Mandarin-acquiring children aged between 3-9in their story-telling.The results indicate an early acquisition of the mapping between NP forms and indefiniteness,but a late development of the syntactic position markers,as evidenced by the preschoolers’ frequent violation of the subject definiteness constraint,i.e.,using numeral phrases as the sentential subject.The study also reveals an impact by the number of referents on the choice of NP forms in marking new referents.Both children and adults in the study produced more numeral phrases when referring to multiple referents than did they when referring to a single referent.These findings support the view that the mapping between NP forms and referentiality is acquired early,while linguistic knowledge at the syntax-pragmatics interface is more difficult to acquire.However,the idea that young children do not take the hearer’ s knowledge into consideration in their language is not supported by the present study.
