"Auch" and "noch" in Child and Adult German is an empirical study
of the early acquisition of "auch" (also) and "noch" (also/still)
in German, and the adult use of these additive particles in spoken
language. It centres around the question of how children acquire
these particles, but it also investigates the way in which adults
use these particles in order to determine what children actually
have to learn and what the input they get is like. Previous studies
on focus particles in adult German mainly focused on the semantic
and syntactic properties of primarily constructed examples. Based
on several corpora of spoken German, this is the first
comprehensive study of natural language data that systematically
analyses the intonation of focus particle utterances as well as
their semantic, syntactic and information structural properties.
The study of the child data, an extensive longitudinal corpus of
one German child, was carried out against the background of the
adult data. It offers a thorough characterisation of the
acquisition of the two additive particles that also takes into
account results from previous studies on the acquisition of focus
particles, mainly on their comprehension. In addition to studying
the acquisition of these particles, the author also introduces an
analysis of focus particles that emphasises the differences between
stressed and unstressed particles, which makes this book not only
interesting to researchers in language acquisition and
psycholinguistics, but also to those interested in
phonology/prosody, semantics, syntax and information structure.
