摘要 年轻的英语儿童经常发出缺少 3sg -s 的话语（例如，*He play）。自 20 世纪 90 年代中期以来，此类错误往往被视为可选不定式 (OI) 错误，其中动词是非限定形式（例如，Wexler，1998；Legate & Yang，2007）。本文报告了一项针对 22 名儿童（年龄 3;1–4;1）的横断面引发生产研究的结果，该研究调查了至少一些明显的 OI 错误反映了默认输入中频率最高的形式的过程的可能性。在 48 个动词中，在代表性输入语料库中“裸”与 3sg -s 形式的比例与 3sg -s 生成率之间观察到显着的负相关。这一发现表明，除了其他产生此类跨语言错误的学习机制之外，至少英语儿童产生的一些 OI 错误反映了默认高频/语音简单形式的过程。
ABSTRACT Young English-speaking children often produce utterances with missing 3sg -s (e.g., *He play). Since the mid 1990s, such errors have tended to be treated as Optional Infinitive (OI) errors, in which the verb is a non-finite form (e.g., Wexler, 1998; Legate & Yang, 2007). The present article reports the results of a cross-sectional elicited-production study with 22 children (aged 3;1–4;1), which investigated the possibility that at least some apparent OI errors reflect a process of defaulting to the form with the highest frequency in the input. Across 48 verbs, a significant negative correlation was observed between the proportion of ‘bare’ vs. 3sg -s forms in a representative input corpus and the rate of 3sg -s production. This finding suggests that, in addition to other learning mechanisms that yield such errors cross-linguistically, at least some of the OI errors produced by English-speaking children reflect a process of defaulting to a high-frequency/phonologically simple form.
