获得母语需要了解其语音元素及其顺序的限制。我们的研究通过检查婴儿对不熟悉的单词的听力偏好来探讨这个问题，这些单词要么遵守或违反母语语音和语音趋向模式。美国 9 个月大的孩子（而非 6 个月大的孩子）听带有英语而不是荷兰语声音模式的单词的时间明显更长。荷兰 9 个月大的婴儿表现出相反的偏好模式。没有出现对单词的低通滤波版本的偏好，这表明婴儿对语音和音位特性做出反应，而不是对韵律特性做出反应。然而，当单词的韵律组织根本不同时（例如英语与挪威语），即使是美国 6 个月大的孩子听英语单词的时间也会明显延长。
Acquiring a native language involves learning about its phonetic elements and the constraints on their ordering. Our study explored this issue by examining infants′ listening preferences for unfamiliar words that either observe or violate native language phonetic and phonotactic patterns. American 9-month-olds, but not 6-month-olds, listened significantly longer to words with English, rather than Dutch, sound patterns. Dutch 9-month-olds showed the opposite pattern of preferences. No preferences occurred for low-pass-filtered versions of the words, suggesting that infants were responding to phonetic and phonotactic properties rather than to prosodic ones. However, when words fundamentally differed in their prosodic organization (e.g., English vs Norwegian), even American 6-month-olds listened significantly longer to English words.
