Regularizing the regular

Abstract

This article deals with the phenomenon of overregularization in a language already extremely regular, i.e. Esperanto, in children who are learning it as their mother tongue together with one or two other national languages. It consists of an analysis of the diaries kept by Esperanto-speaking parents, tracing the development of five children who were brought up speaking Esperanto as one of their two or three mother-tongues. The children were all of European origin, and their ages ranged from one to five years. The different forms of overregularization have been subdivided into three levels of complexity based on the number and type of morpheme compositions used, and the degree of semantic elaboration. Detailed comments are provided on the forms and meanings of the various examples representing each level, showing the correlation between the age of the children and the growing complexity of the forms. This study can be seen as a first step towards a more systematic analysis of the typologies of overregularization specific to this category of early bilingual children and a better understanding of their language development profile. Sommario Regolarizzazione di una lingua regolare: Il fenomeno della iperregolarizzazione in bambini che parlano l’esperanto Questo articolo si occupa del fenomeno della iperregolarizzazione in una lingua già estremamente regolare, cioè l’esperanto, da parte di bambini che la stanno imparando come lingua materna insieme ad una o due altre lingue nazionali. Esso consiste in una analisi dei diari tenuti dai genitori esperantofoni, che registrano lo sviluppo di cinque bambini che sono stati allevati parlando in esperanto come una delle loro due o tre lingue materne. I bambini sono tutti di estrazione europea e le loro età vanno da uno a cinque anni. Le differenti forme di iperregolarizzazione sono state divise in tre livelli di complessità basati sul numero e sul tipo di combinazioni di morfemi e sul grado di elaborazione semantica. Vengono forniti commenti dettagliati sulle forme e sui significati dei vari esempi rappresentantivi di ogni livello, che mostrano la correlazione tra l’età dei bambini e la crescente complessità delle forme. Questo studio può essere visto come un primo passo vero una analisi più sistematica delle tipologie di iperregolarizzazione specifiche per questa categoria di bilingui precoci e verso una migliore comprensione del loro profilo di sviluppo linguistico. Resumo Reguligo de regula lingvo: La fenomeno de superreguligo en Esperanto-parolantaj infanoj Ĉi tiu artikolo temas pri la fenomeno de superreguligo en lingvo jam tre regula, tio estas Esperanto, fare de infanoj, kiuj lernadas ĝin kiel gepatran lingvon kune kun unu aŭ du aliaj naciaj lingvoj. Ĝi konsistas el analizo de la taglibroj verkitaj de esperantlingvaj gepatroj. La taglibroj raportas pri la lingva evoluo de kvin infanoj, kiuj kreskis, parolante en Esperanto kiel unu el la du aŭ tri lingvoj lernataj de la naskiĝo. La infanoj estas ĉiuj eŭropaj kaj iliaj aĝoj varias inter unu kaj kvin jaroj. La pluraj formoj de superreguligo estis dividitaj laŭ tri malsimplec-niveloj, kiuj baziĝas je la kvanto kaj la speco de morfem-kombinoj kaj je la grado de signifo-prilaborado aplikita. Oni liveras detalajn komentojn pri la unuopaj vort-formoj kaj pri la signifoj de la ekzemploj, kiuj reprezentas la unuopajn nivelojn. Ĉi tiuj ekzemploj montras kunvariadon de la aĝo de la infanoj kaj de la pliiĝanta malfacileco de la vortformoj. Ĉi tiu studo povas esti rigardata kiel unua paŝo al pli sistema esploro de la speco de superreguligoj tipaj por ĉi tiu speco de fruaj dulingvuloj kaj al pli bona kompreno de ilia lingvo-evoluo.
