儿童的语义习得近年来一直是语言学、心理语言学等学科研究的热门领域，也是语言与认知研究的热点。本书从理论语言学的角度出发，结合当代心理语言学的实验研究方法，严格按照国际主流儿童语言习得研究的实验程序和理论假设对汉语儿童焦点敏感词“才”／“就”与焦点、级差表征有关的句法和语义知识进行了多方面的考察，揭示了汉语儿童认知发展与焦点、级差结构表征之间的内在关系，探讨了生成语法规则、语言环境、认知在语义习得中的作用。作者从级差语义发展与认知、语义与语用发展交互作用的角度对实验结果做了有说服力的解释。从谓语焦点结构与自然语言中信息表达的非标记性结构（即主题一述语结构）的同构性以及英汉句子结构的差异方面探讨了汉语儿童与英语儿童对限制焦点理解的异同，对语言的共性和个性与语言习得之间的关系做了积极的理论探讨。
