本研究的目的是评估手势、手势加单词组合和过渡形式的早期产生与连续词汇和句法技能之间的关系。研究人员观察了24名儿童与母亲的互动。我们发现，在18个月时，辅助性手势加单词组合和过渡形式的使用与词汇技能和语言能力有关，但与24个月时的话语复杂性无关；相反，在18个月时，辅助手势加单词组合的使用与话语复杂性有关，但与词汇技能和MLU无关。这些关系可以从提高儿童的交际能力和成人对语言发展的贡献两方面来解释。
The aim of the present study was to evaluate relationships between early production of gesture, gesture-plus-word combinations and transitional forms on successive lexical and syntactic skills. Twenty-four children interacting with their mothers were observed. We found that complementary gesture-plus-word combinations and transitional forms use at 18 months were related with lexical skill and MLU - but not with utterance complexity - at 24 months; supplementary gesture-plus-word combinations use at 18 months, instead, was related with utterance complexity, but not with lexical skill and MLU. These relationships are explained in terms of increasing communicative competence in the child and also in terms of the adult's contribution to linguistic development.
