本文讨论了特殊的挑战与收集纵向样本的自发手语和口语生产的年轻双峰双语儿童。我们讨论了我们在美国和巴西的儿童研究中使用的方法。由于我们的目标之一是观察手语和语音，以及任何语言混合，因此我们必须解决语言选择和指导儿童参与者在每次会话中主要使用目标语言的技术问题。提出了以有效但尊重的方式实现这一目标的建议和指导方针。我们特别依赖于参与者的父母的参与、灵活性和指导，他们与我们一起工作，以获得真正代表他们孩子语言能力的样本。我们说明了我们的程序培训家长和其他对话者在数据收集会议。作为对他们慷慨参与我们研究的回报，我们解决了父母对语言发展的问题和担忧，特别是在双模态双语环境中。我们非常重视与参与者就他们对使用他们提供的数据的期望进行谈判的必要性，我们遵守他们在这一问题上的愿望。这里提出的策略，提高质量的调查，我们可以进行的参与者家庭的经验，尽可能愉快。
This article addresses the special challenges associated with collecting longitudinal samples of the spontaneous sign language and spoken language production by young bimodal bilingual children. We discuss the methods used in our study of children in the United States and Brazil. Since one of our goals is to observe both sign language and speech, as well as any language mixing, it is important for us to address issues of language choice and techniques for directing the child participant toward primary use of the target language in each session. Suggestions and guidelines for achieving this in effective yet respectful ways are presented. We are especially dependent on the participation, flexibility, and direction of our participant children’s parents, who work with us to elicit samples that are genuinely representative of their children’s linguistic abilities. We illustrate our procedures for training parents and other interlocutors in data-collection sessions. In return for their generous participation in our research, we address parents’ questions and concerns about language development, especially in bimodal bilingual contexts. We take very seriously the need to negotiate with participants regarding their expectations for the use of the data they provide, and we abide by their wishes in this matter. The strategies presented here improve the quality of the investigations we can conduct by making the experiences of the participant families as pleasant as possible.
