儿童使用句法解释句子和学习动词;这是句法自学。早期句法自举的结构映射解释认为,句子结构的部分表示,即与动词一起出现的一组名词,指导着初始解释,并为新的学习提供了一种抽象的格式。这一描述预示着早期的成功,但也预示着一些明显的错误:蹒跚学步的孩子应该无法区分及物句和其他包含两个名词的句子。在验证这一预测时,我们利用了21个月大的婴儿使用他们在英语句子中所学到的名词顺序来理解新的及物动词的证据。在两个实验中,21个月大的婴儿将这一名词顺序知识应用于两个名词及物句,错误地将不同的解释赋予了“男孩和女孩在狼吞虎咽!”还有“女孩和男孩都在狼吞虎咽!”这表明,幼儿利用句子结构的部分表征来指导句子的解释;这些稀疏的表征是有用的,但容易出错。
Children use syntax to interpret sentences and learn verbs; this is syntactic bootstrapping. The structure-mapping account of early syntactic bootstrapping proposes that a partial representation of sentence structure, the set of nouns occurring with the verb, guides initial interpretation and provides an abstract format for new learning. This account predicts early successes, but also telltale errors: Toddlers should be unable to tell transitive sentences from other sentences containing two nouns. In testing this prediction, we capitalized on evidence that 21-month-olds use what they have learned about noun order in English sentences to understand new transitive verbs. In two experiments, 21-month-olds applied this noun-order knowledge to two-noun intransitive sentences, mistakenly assigning different interpretations to “The boy and the girl are gorping!” and “The girl and the boy are gorping!”. This suggests that toddlers exploit partial representations of sentence structure to guide sentence interpretation; these sparse representations are useful, but error-prone.
