语言的特点是形式与意义的对应关系错综复杂。在心理词典的词汇部分，研究人员认为儿童通过利用词项出现的语言语境来解决部分映射问题(Gillette等人。1999年)。这个问题的一个更复杂的变体是心理词典功能子域中的形式到意义的映射问题，其中一词多义的问题往往因复杂的语法约束而变得复杂。我们特别感兴趣的是对功能成分习得的跨语言比较，例如限定限定语，它可以在不同语言中具有相似的句法分布，但映射到重叠但不相同的语义空间。本文是正在进行的工作(Pérez-Leroux，Munn和Schmitt，2003，Pérez-Leroux，Munn和Schmitt，出版社)的一部分，考察了限定限定语习得的发展，在以下情况下：a)限定词没有规范的用法/解释，指代一个独特的和特定的话语识别实体；b)非典范用法的分布存在跨语言和语言内的差异。我们在这里提出了两项研究，考察了限定词和时态对儿童英语和西班牙语中的类属解释的影响。
Languages are characterized by an intricate system of form-to-sense correspondences. In the vocabulary part of the mental lexicon, researchers believe that children solve part of the mapping problem by making use of the linguistic context in which lexical items appear (Gillette et al. 1999). A more complex variant of this problem is the problem of mapping form to sense in the functional subdomain of the mental lexicon, where the problem of polysemy is often complicated by complex grammatical constraints. We are particularly interested in the crosslinguistic comparison of the acquisition of functional elements such as the definite determiner, which can have comparable syntactic distributions across languages, but map into overlapping but non-identical semantic spaces. This paper is part of ongoing work (Pérez-Leroux, Munn and Schmitt, 2003, Pérez-Leroux, Munn and Schmitt, in press) examining the development of the acquisition of the definite determiner in contexts where a) the definite does not have its canonical use/interpretation of referring to a unique and specific discourse-identified entity; and b) there is cross-linguistic and intra-linguistic variation in the distribution of non-canonical uses. We present here two studies examining the effect of the determiner and tense on children’s generic interpretations in English and Spanish.
