本研究对来自10个非英语语言社区的13783名欧洲儿童在新兴语言技能方面的性别差异进行了探究。它基于对已发表数据的综合分析，这些数据是通过使用经调整的麦克阿瑟 - 贝茨沟通发展量表（CDIs）从0.08岁到2.06岁进行评估得到的。结果显示，女孩在早期沟通手势、产出性词汇以及组词方面略领先于男孩。这种差异随着年龄增长而增大。未发现男孩比女孩的变异性更大。尽管不同语言社区之间的语言技能存在很大差异，但女孩和男孩之间的差异仍然存在。这表明这种差异是由在不同语言社区之间不变的稳定因素造成的。
The present study explored gender differences in emerging language skills in 13,783 European children from 10 non-English language communities. It was based on a synthesis of published data assessed with adapted versions of the MacArthur-Bates Communicative Development Inventories (CDIs) from age 0.08 to 2.06. The results showed that girls are slightly ahead of boys in early communicative gestures, in productive vocabulary, and in combining words. The difference increased with age. Boys were not found to be more variable than girls. Despite extensive variation in language skills between language communities, the difference between girls and boys remained. This suggests that the difference is caused by robust factors that do not change between language communities.
