Özet:

Comprehension and production of relative clauses in L1 Turkish has been the topic of many studies. The aim of the current descriptive study is to investigate whether five and six-year old monolingual Turkish-speaking children comprehend subject relative clauses or object relative clauses more easily. The study also aims to find out if there is a significant difference between the ages of five and six in terms of children’s comprehension of subject relative clauses and object relative clauses. The results indicate that children in both groups show higher accuracy in the comprehension of subject relative clauses than object relative clauses in a picture-selection task and that there is a significant development in terms of comprehension of subject relative clauses in L1 Turkish between the ages of five and six.
