摘　　要：本项研究采用故事讲述任务,考察不同年龄段(5岁、6岁、8岁和10岁)的英语儿童和汉语儿童对各自语言中完成体标记的使用情况。结果表明:英语儿童和汉语儿童完成体使用的年龄发展趋势存在差异。英语儿童为不完整的U型模式,5岁组和6岁组完成体使用频率很高,8岁组突然下降,10岁组则仍未达到5岁和6岁组的频率;汉语儿童随年龄增长,完成体使用频率虽不断增加,但总体一直处于偏低状态。这一差异可能是由于英、汉两种语言不同句法要求和形态差异引起的。This study compares Chinese and English on a developmental scale,utilizing four different age groups to examine the developmental trend of the perfective aspect used under narrative conditions.Results show that 1)the developmental trends differ greatly,with the usage by English subjects dropping substantially until the age of about 8years,while the usage of'le'by Chinese subjects increasing exponentially across the four age groups in a low percentage;2)the major differences across the two languages,particularly in the developmental trends,are believed to be influenced by the existent differences between them,with aspectual markers being optional under certain circumstances in Chinese,but not in English.Some of the existing differences result from the differences in grammar and form in the two languages.
