Abstract
The development of particle is an important part of children’s language acquisition. This study selected a child’s long-term tracing corpus (one year old to three and a half years old), and examined the development of the child’s sentence final particle (SFP) “MA” in detail. By analyzing the development of “MA” of all ages, the quantitative analysis data of the sentence final particle “MA” on the age group can be obtained, and the particle’s acquisition stage from the perspective of cognitive development is analyzed.
