This study examines school-age children's anaphoric resolution of subject null noun phrases (null NPs) and subject pronouns in sentences. It hypothesizes that in resolving anaphora in complex sentences and 'existential' sentences, children aged eight, ten and twelve acquiring Chinese (Cantonese) are restricted by a set of hypotheses on language structure vis-a-vis the Binding Principles. In resolving anaphora in which the antecedent and the anaphor are in independent clauses, children are capable of maintaining or switching subject reference. In order to make such a cognitive switch or maintenance of subject reference, children need to know that in Chinese, it is permissible to use null NP to maintain the subject reference and it is marked to use the pronoun to refer to a maintained-reference subject as well as a switched-reference subject.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This study examines school-age children's anaphoric resolution of subject null noun phrases (null NPs) and subject pronouns in sentences. It hypothesizes that in resolving anaphora in complex sentences and 'existential' sentences, children aged eight, ten and twelve acquiring Chinese (Cantonese) are restricted by a set of hypotheses on language structure vis-a-vis the Binding Principles. In resolving anaphora in which the antecedent and the anaphor are in independent clauses, children are capable of maintaining or switching subject reference. In order to make such a cognitive switch or maintenance of subject reference, children need to know that in Chinese, it is permissible to use null NP to maintain the subject reference and it is marked to use the pronoun to refer to a maintained-reference subject as well as a switched-reference subject.
520 $a One hundred and twenty-eight Cantonese-speaking subjects (32 pupils each from Grade 2, Grade 4 and Grade 6 and 32 adults) were randomly divided into a listening group and a reading group to resolve 30 null anaphora in sentences. Another group of 128 Cantonese-speaking subjects of the same composition, namely, 32 pupils each from Grade 2, Grade 4 and Grade 6 and 32 adults, were randomly divided onto a listening group and a reading group to resolve 27 pronominal anaphora.
520 $a It was found that the children were like the adults in the ways that they interpreted the anaphora in existential sentences and showed similar preferences in resolving ambiguous anaphora. Differential performance was found with complex sentences with embedding. A combination of syntactic and cognitive factors were found to have affected children's resolution: syntactic factors such as embedding and cognitive factors such as the surface-distance between the antecedent and anaphor. In resolving anaphora in independent clauses, it was found that children were capable of maintaining or switching subject reference in non-conjoined clauses like adults by using thematic and semantic knowledge. But they had not grasped fully the knowledge that the use of the null NP is unmarked and the use of the pronoun is marked for subject reference. On the whole children's performance was more like adults in listening than in reading. Furthermore, they were not sensitive to orthographic cues in resolving pronouns.
