The subject of this doctoral dissertation is the acquisition of spatial
adjectives in the domain of physical space and abstract domain, as
well as the acquisition of meaning of adjective antonym pairs in
children of various ages. As children are older, and therefore
linguistically and cognitively more developed, it could be expected
the increase in a number of the total number of various adjectives that
child uses. The acquisition of linguistic expressions for spatial coding
is conditioned by the development of general cognitive abilities. The
process of acquisition of abstract meaning of dimensional adjectives
and meaning of opposites of these adjectives, as well as the speed at
which these meanings are acquired, is presented through various
development stages. We rely on Piaget's theory of cognitive
development of language abilities which is based on empirically
established facts. The applied method is the method of verbal
associations by using the test of controlled and free word as...sociations.
The research was conducted on the child population of six and eight
years of age. The results show that in the younger age most meanings
were related to concrete physical space whereas in older ages abstract
meanings were more often presented. Paradigmatic answers are
present in larger numbers in an older age compared to a younger age
which indicates a higher level of their language development.
Children of an older age acquired more antonyms of spatial adjectives
in relation to the children of a younger age. Better test results in all
tests were achieved by children from the urban environment in
comparison to children from rural environments. There is no
difference between boys and girls when it comes to the adoption and
understanding of the meaning of spatial adjectives.
