婴儿使用社会线索，如凝视和触摸，通常在与照顾者的共同注意，破译单词的含义。然而，对词义线索的研究主要依赖于结构化的任务，与家庭环境中争夺注意力的无数物体相比，干扰物很少。40名母亲和她们13个月大的婴儿在家庭日常生活中被录像。从成绩单中，3,000多个“命名事件”被编码为社会（视觉和手动）和上下文（位置：房间和地点）线索的参考对象。母亲和婴儿的视觉和触觉的注意伴随命名事件具有较高的规律性，和对象的母亲命名是特定的房间和地点。嵌套的社会和上下文线索注入婴儿的日常语言经验的方式，帮助婴儿消除歧义的词义。
Infants use social cues like gaze and touch, typically during joint attention with caregivers, to decipher word meaning. Yet, studies on cues to word meaning primarily rely on structured tasks, where distractors are few compared to the countless objects that vie for attention in the home environment. Forty mothers and their 13-month-old infants were video-recorded during home routines. From transcripts, 3,000+ "naming events" were coded for social (visual and manual) and contextual (location: room and place) cues to the object of reference. Mother and infant visual and tactile attention accompanied naming events with high regularity, and the objects mothers named were specific to room and place. Nested social and contextual cues infuse infants' everyday language experiences in ways that help infants disambiguate word meaning.
