Abstract

Linguistic analysis of children's literature is one of the subjects that need to be considered in language and linguistics. The aim of this study was to investigate the children’s’ linguistic literature in different age groups.  For this purpose, this study seeks to introduce the Syntactic complexity of each group with analyzing the proper linguistic complexity figures for different age groups. In each of the figures in question, which consists of ten thousand words, some syntactic complexities such as the number of words in simple sentences in each age group, proportion of simple sentences with respect to the compound verbs, the presence of agent and patient in the texts of ten thousand words of each age group were studied and statistically compared. It has been shown that with increasing the age, number of words in simple sentences is increased. However, the ratio of the simple to compound sentences decreases. But, there is no significant difference in time of the used tenses. Relating to the presence of agent and patient, sentences are divided into ten categories. This study shows that between applications of sentence predications, passive, exclamation, sentences with omitting active and passive verbal statements by verbal analogy, interrogative sentences, sentences with pro-agent and sentences with agent and without patient, significant difference was seen. But, no significant difference was seen between sentences with non-personal verbs and sentences with agents and without patients, for different age groups
