Classifiers are words or prefixes used in various languages to indicate the syntactic or semantic classification of words. In Chinese, a classifier is obligatory in a noun phrase containing a numeral or a demonstrative. For example, "two cats" in English is rendered in Chinese as liang ZHI mao (two animate-inhuman-thing cat). The second item in the noun phrase is a classifier. It provides a semantic classification of the head noun's referent. Chinese has several dozen specific classifiers, which co-occur only with a noun whose referent shares a specific semantic feature associated with the classifier. In addition, there is a general classifier ge, which is used with any noun for which no specific classifier is assigned.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a Classifiers are words or prefixes used in various languages to indicate the syntactic or semantic classification of words. In Chinese, a classifier is obligatory in a noun phrase containing a numeral or a demonstrative. For example, "two cats" in English is rendered in Chinese as liang ZHI mao (two animate-inhuman-thing cat). The second item in the noun phrase is a classifier. It provides a semantic classification of the head noun's referent. Chinese has several dozen specific classifiers, which co-occur only with a noun whose referent shares a specific semantic feature associated with the classifier. In addition, there is a general classifier ge, which is used with any noun for which no specific classifier is assigned.
520 $a Employing an experimental design consisting of production and comprehension tests, the present study investigated the acquisition of ge and eleven specific classifiers denoting animacy, function, shape, and arrangement by twenty-four Mandarin speaking preschool aged children. The study explored the relative order of acquisition of different classifiers, and the development of semantic co-occurrence constraints on classifier-noun sequences. Also under investigation were the relation between children's comprehension and production of classifiers and the relation between their cognitive abilities and comprehension and production of classifiers.
520 $a Results indicate that by the age of three, children have acquired the general classifier and overgeneralize its use widely. Specific classifiers emerge slowly between the ages of three and five. Of all specific classifiers tested, ZHI, denoting animate-inhuman, was used most frequently by children. This suggests that in their categorization of nouns, children pay primary attention to animacy. Shuang (paired-item) denoting arrangement, pi meaning horse-like, zhang (flat-thin) denoting shape, jian (clothing-item) and ba (hand-tool) denoting function, were used with higher frequencies than other specific classifiers tested. The study reveals that children's comprehension of classifiers is better than their production; children also perceive and categorize objects better than they comprehend or produce the relevant classifiers.
