| Sumario: | In the present article, we studied young readers’ understanding to add to our knowledge of the inventory and range of the semantic roles followed in the immediate oral recalls. Understanding of an expository 200-word Russian text studied by 22 Russian citizens between age 10-11 was evaluated with free memory. The obtained design of the semantic roles’ inventory in the reading text and its recalls includes 2 kinds: principal positions and sub-propositions, the end of which fall into agents, conditions, and conditioners. The findings also confirm that nominal phrases used in the text as main propositions are typically substituted with verbs and verbal phrases in recalls. The authors suggest that the number and range of propositions are good predictors of text complexity. |
