Abstract

This work discusses how parents’ roles differ in educating children in an aspect of children’s adjective acquisition. Existed literature has concentrated mainly on the learning of nouns and children’s vocabulary in a general basis, and little attention has given to adjective as a specific field of study. However, the acquisition of adjectives has a considerable impact on children’s future development, from perspectives of children’s ability of understanding and learning new skills at schools, speaking skills and networking skills within interpersonal relationships, and their abilities of storytelling, differentiating, and explaining. In a group of children of the same age, children with stronger adjective acquisition ability will have more developmental potential and competitiveness than other children. This work will examine children’s adjective vocabulary with Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT) during a 14-day experiment, which indicates the increased number of new adjectives children learn when they are with their fathers and mothers respectively. Hypothesis on this study is that children who spend time with mother would have a better acquisition of adjectives due to the finding that said the more sensitive and responsive caregiving is associated with better cognitive and language outcomes. However, in additional to the hypothesis as one of the possible outcomes, all other possible results and limitations will be discussed in the study.
