Abstract

Relative appellations are the earliest acquired nouns of children, and their acquisition principles are analyzed and understood by prototype theory in this paper, and judgment experiments are designed to test the concrete prototype of kindergarten children on relative acquisition. This essay will firstly lay out how the experiments are being conducted. Then it will discuss the reason and conclusion behind the experiment results. Finally, the results show that children have the ability of morphemes combination in acquiring relative appellation. It is concluded that children should have a hidden learning module hidden in the framework of UG when acquiring languages at an early stage, which helps children cut and combine morphemes in relative appellations, at the same time, and a dynamic boundary of prototype appears in the research which support the revision of the prototype theory.
