ABSTRACT
The development of expressions of subjectivization is accompanied by the development of cognitive abilities. The various cognitive abilities that affect the development of subjectivity may also impact the developmental characteristics of various expressions of subjectivization simultaneously. The subjectivity and subjectivization of language have attracted the attention of Chinese linguists. The chapter explains the acquisition of expressions of subjectivization of young Chinese children by exploring the developmental corpus of a child of Beijing dialect before the age of 04;00. It explores issues such as the restrictive factors of subjective development and the relationship between subjectivity and children’s syntactic development. The concept of subjectivization embodies two levels of meaning: one is synchronic subjectivization, which is the structural form adopted by language in order to express subjectivity; the other is diachronic subjectivization, which is the evolutionary process of language in order to express subjectivity.
