Abstract

This study aims to investigte the development of the ability of the infants in the period from 23-months-old to 43-months-old to construct the relative clause and the noun complement through the materials made of their free speech. In this period their ability to use such construction develop steadily, and the most frequent head noun is 'keos(것)'. In case of the relative clause, the restrictive clauses go ahead of the non-restrictive clauses in the frequency and the time of their uses. And the subjecthood of the head noun is learned earlier than the objecthood or adverbhood. The adjective predicate is also earlier-learned compared to the verb predicate in the relative clause construction. The predicate ‘keos(-i-)' is most frequently used among the complement nouns. The acquisition time of ‘(-eul) keos(-i-)' is different from that of ‘(-eun/neun) keos(-i-)'. ‘(-eul) keos(-i-)' that express the intent of the 1st person subject is learned earlier than the one that express the guess of the speaker.
