本研究考察了9名聋哑儿童对美国手语符号位置特征的习得。在每月一次的家访中，父母用录像带展示他们的孩子是如何在他们的词汇中形成每一个新获得的符号的;这些录像记录作为目前分析的基础。总体而言，标志位置的准确性相对较高：在儿童早期词汇中，不同标志的平均正确率为83.5%。发现某些标志位置比其他标志位置更容易或更容易获得。首先采集对比度高的位置（前额、下巴、躯干上和躯干前）。在后来获得的位置中，通常涉及复杂的手形，提供接触点的小区域，或需要主动签名的手穿过身体的中线。位置方面被解释为在幼儿早期手语习得中起着核心作用。
The acquisition of the location aspect of American Sign Language signs was examined in 9 young children of deaf parents. In monthly home visits, the parents demonstrated on videotape how their children formed each newly-acquired sign in their lexicons; these videotaped records served as the basis for the present analyses. Sign locations, overall, were produced with relatively high accuracy: 83.5% were correct on average across the different signs in the children's early lexicons. Certain sign locations were found to be more easily or readily acquired than others. Highly contrasting locations (forehead, chin, on and in front of the trunk) were acquired first. Among the locations typically acquired later were those that involved complex handshapes, provided a small area for a point of contact, or required the active signing hand to cross the body's midline. The location aspect was interpreted as playing a central role in young children's early sign language acquisition.
