Daftar Isi:
- Philip (1995) investigated spreading quantifier in English. He pointed out that children preferred one-to-one relation between the quantifier each/every and a noun it modifies. This study is specifically presented to test quantifier spreading of setiap/masing-masing “each/every” in Indonesian. The study involved 20 younger children (4-to-6-year-old), 30 older children (7-to-12-year-old), and 30 adults (17-to-22- year-old). Picture selection tasks were used. The results indicated that half of the younger children preferred one-to-one relation between the quantifier setiap/masing-masing and its domain (i.e., the noun it modifies), while the other half opted non one-to-one relation. Unlike the younger children, the older children and adults preferred symmetrical relation or one-to-one relation. Ultimately, Philip’s findings pointing out that children opted symmetrical relation are not confirmed in this study
