支持(一个物体防止另一个物体摔倒)是由成人和儿童以高度结构化和差异化的方式进行语言编码的,具有基本的方位表达或轻动词(例如,在英语中,该块在/放在盒子上)编码来自下面的支持,以及词汇动词(例如,she stuck块on the box框)encoding编码Mechanical机械Support支持.我们问父母是否使用这种高度分化的语言时,描述支持配置,以他们年幼的孩子,以及是否年龄的孩子缓和这种效果。我们发现,当6个月至3.5岁儿童的父母向他们的孩子描述来自下方的支持和机械支持时,他们确实使用了不同的语言表达,用轻动词编码来自下方的支持(例如,put on)和机械支持与其他词汇动词(例如,坚持(stick on/to)这种差异对于年龄最大的孩子的父母来说尤其突出,他们使用更多的词汇动词(坚持),更少的轻动词(放)来编码机械支持。这些研究结果首次表明,父母的空间语言,他们的幼儿区分两种不同类型的支持,并建议,父母的输入可能发挥重要作用,帮助儿童学习语言划分语义域的支持。这为未来的研究奠定了基础,以测试两者之间的因果关系。
Support (one object preventing another from falling) is linguistically encoded by adults and children in a highly structured and differentiated way, with basic locative expressions or Light verbs (e.g., in English, the blockis on/put onthe box) encoding Support-from-Below, and lexical verbs (e.g., shestuckthe blockonthe box) encoding Mechanical Support. We ask whether parents use such highly differentiated language when describing support configurations to their young children and whether the age of the child moderates this effect. We found that when parents of children 6-months to 3.5 years of age described events of Support-from-Below and Mechanical Support to their children, they did use distinct linguistic expressions, encoding Support-from-Below with Light verbs (e.g.,put on) and Mechanical Support with other lexical verbs (e.g.,stick on/to). This differentiation was especially prominent for parents of the oldest children, who used more lexical verbs (stick), and fewer Light verbs (put), to encode Mechanical Support. These findings are the first to demonstrate that parents’ spatial language to their young children distinguishes between two distinct types of support and suggest that parent input may play an important role in helping children learn to linguistically carve up the semantic domain of support. This sets the stage for future research to test the causal connection between the two.
