Knowledge of Logical Structures in Expository Texts and Its Utilization of Elementary School Children. This study investigated how children's knowledge of logical structures in expository texts is developed and how children utilized it to construct or comprehend a text. Experiment was consisted of two tasks : a sentence-arrangement task and a text comprehension test. Four types of text differed in two logical structures (Modus Ponens and Constructive Dilemma) and levels of familiarity with topics (high and low). Subjects were 39 fourth, 45 fifth, and 55 sixth graders. The results were as follows. For constructing the expository texts, the children could start utilizing the knowledge of Modus Ponens from fifth graders and Constructive Dilemma from sixth graders. The factors influencing the level of comprehending a text were different between two logical structures. For Modus Ponens, a close relationship was found between grade and the level of comprehension. On the other hand, for Constructive Dilemma, the children who utilized its knowledge appropriately could comprehend the content more correctly regardless of grades.
