Child-directed questions are significant in high-quality mother-child interactions (Ninio, 1980; Rowe et al., 2017). This paper examines the probable effects of Turkish child-directed speech (CDS) on the acquisition of wh-words of a Turkish child. In this study, the spontaneous speech of a Turkish boy and his mother was video recorded weekly between the ages of 20 and 22 months by his mother during day-time activities such as play, meals and leisure time. Then, it was studied to identify the frequency and the form as directed to the child. The results were compared to understand how the frequency and form of questions changed over three months. While yes/no questions and wh-pronominals with the copula and with semantically general verbs were the question forms found substantially in child-directed speech, the child only produced intonation questions. It was revealed that there is a close relationship between input and acquisition at the sentence and verb level in the present data. This study contributes to language acquisition studies by enhancing our knowledge of how Turkish children acquire questions.

Çocuk Dili ve Çocuğa Yönelik Dilde Türkçe Soruların Gelişimi

Çocuğa yöneltilen sorular, anne-çocuk etkileşiminde önemli bir role sahiptir (Ninio, 1980; Rowe, Leech & Cabrera, 2017). Bu makale, çocuklara yönelik konuşmanın, bir Türk çocuğunun soru edinimi üzerindeki olası etkilerini ve gidişatını incelemektedir. Bu çalışmada, 20-22 ay yaşları arasındaki bir Türk erkek çocuğu ile annesinin spontan konuşmaları, oyun, yemek ve boş zaman gibi günlük aktiviteler sırasında annesi tarafından haftalık olarak videoya kaydedilmiştir. Daha sonra çocuğa yönelik soruların hem sıklığı hem de tarzı tespit edilmeye çalışılmış ve sonuçlar, üç aylık süre zarfında soru sıklığı ve tarzının nasıl değiştiğini kayıt altına almıştır. Çalışmadaki çocuğa yönelik iletişimde evet/hayır soruları ve isim ve semantik olarak genel fiillerle birlikte soru zamirleri en sık kullanılırken, çocuk yalnızca tonlama yaparak soru üretti. Mevcut verilerde cümle ve fiil düzeyinde girdi ve edinim arasında yakın bir ilişki olduğu saptandı. Bu çalışma, Türk çocuklarının soruları nasıl edindiklerine dair bilgimizi artırarak dil edinimi çalışmalarına katkı sağlamaktadır.
