Data Exploration of Sentence Structures and Embellishments in German texts: Comparing Children’s Writing vs Literature
- It is of interest to study sentence construction for children’s writing in order to understand grammatical errors and their influence on didactic decisions. For this purpose, this paper analyses sentence structures for various age groups of children’s writings in contrast to text taken from children’s and youth literature. While valency differs little between text type and age group, sentence embellishments show some differences. Both use of adjectives and adverbs increase with age and book levels. Furthermore books show a larger use thereof. This work presents one of the steps in a larger ongoing effort to understand children’s writing and reading competences at word and sentence level. The need to look at variable from non-variable features of sentence structures separately in order to find distinctive features has been an important finding.
