长期以来，人们一直对理解非语言知觉加工和语言特定词汇学习对幼儿如何表示空间术语意义的相对贡献感兴趣（HH Clark, 1973）。在关于空间和语言的现代文献中，越来越多的人认识到，对空间关系概念语义习得的解释是一项复杂的工作，争论集中在语言在整个过程中是否扮演着选择主义（Mandler, 1996）、互动主义（Bowerman & Choi, 2001）、组合主义（Hermer-Vazquez, Spelke, & Katsnelson, 1999）或重组（Majid, Bowerman, Kita, Haun, & Levinson, 2004）的角色。这一文献的一个局限是，直到最近，只有少数研究是关于婴儿如何在语言之前解析空间的。正如Regier（1996）所观察到的那样，“对于非语言空间概念的发展以及这种发展可能影响空间的语言分类的方式，没有任何解释”。158)。
T here has been a long-standing interest in understanding the relative contributions of nonlinguistic perceptual processing and languagespecific lexical learning to how young children come to represent the meaning of spatial terms (HH Clark, 1973). In the modern literature on space and language, there has been increased recognition that accounting for the acquisition of the semantics of spatial relational concepts is a complex undertaking, with debate centering on whether language plays a selectionist (Mandler, 1996), interactionist (Bowerman & Choi, 2001), combinatorial (Hermer-Vazquez, Spelke, & Katsnelson, 1999), or restructuring (Majid, Bowerman, Kita, Haun, & Levinson, 2004) role in the overall process. One limitation to this literature is that, until recently, only a handful of studies were available on how infants parse space prior to language. As observed by Regier (1996),“There is no account of nonlinguistic spatial conceptual development and the manner in which this might affect the linguistic categorization of space”(p. 158).
