本研究对6名9个月至2岁的男孩和6名女孩的情感表达与语言出现之间的关系进行了研究。在婴儿从语前发声到语言出现的过渡过程中，发现了第一个词（FW）和词汇突增（VS）。他们的情感表达被编码为效价（积极的，消极的，中性的，混合的，模棱两可的）和强度的梯度属性。在FW和VS的非中性情感表达频率与FW和VS的年龄呈正相关（p <0.02），这意味着儿童表达情感的频率越高，语言成绩的年龄越大。在FW和VS的中性情感上花费的时间与FW和VS的年龄呈负相关（p <0.02）;在中性情感上花费的时间越多，语言成就的年龄越小。此外，在VS的影响的措施预测最终过渡到多词语音，与更多的时间花在中性的影响表达在VS负相关的早期年龄在使用的句子。我们认为，中性情感支持早期过渡到语言，允许语言学习所需的反思立场，并在安静的警觉状态，支持早期婴儿期的认知活动有其前因。
The relation between infant affect expression and the emergence of language was studied in 6 girls and 6 boys, from 9 months to 2 years of age. First words (FW) and vocabulary spurt (VS) were identified in the infants'' transition from prespeech vocalizing to the emergence of language. Their expressions of affect were coded for the gradient properties of valence (positive, negative, neutral, mixed, equivocal) and intensity. Frequency of nonneutral affect expression at FW and VS was positively correlated with age at FW and VS (p < .02), meaning that the more frequently the children expressed emotion, the older of the age of language achievements. Time spent in neutral affect at FW and VS was negatively correlated with age at FW and VS (p < .02); the more time spent in neutral affect, the younger the age of language achievements. In addition, the measures of affect at VS predicted the eventual transition to multiword speech, with more time spent in neutral affect expression at VS negatively correlated with earlier age in the use of sentences. We propose that neutral affect supports the early transition to language by allowing the reflective stance required for language learning, and has its antecedents in the quiet alert states which support the cognitive activity of early infancy.
