| description | Generic expressions play a critical role in the conceptual development of monolingual Southern Peru Quechua children. This article discusses different theories about aquisition and conceptual development of young children and makes a characterization of generic concepts referring to abstract categories. It deepens how these are expressed in Quechua by the presentation of data from a series of surveys on the acquisition of generic concepts among Quechuaphone children. Results confirm that they differentiate generics from specific utterances as well as from quantifiers. They coincide with the results obtained with English and Mandarin speakers. Significant correlations are observed in the interpretation of generic concepts by speakers of worldwide different languages. Another important result is that Quechuaphone children assign generic interpretations to linguistically unmarked utterances. Universal conceptual capacities interact with particular cultural and linguistic contexts to guide conceptual development. Generic expressions —though unmarked morphologically— are one important point of contact between general cognitive processes and the particularities of languages and cultures, the matrix of a specifically Quechua conceptual framework and ontology. |
