本研究探讨了沟通使用的手势和发声方式的正常发展的意大利儿童在过渡期间，从一个字到两个字的讲话。我们分析了12名儿童在1;4和1;8时的自发生产，专注于使用两个元素的组合的话和/或手势。结果表明，在过渡到两个字的语音使用手势和手势-单词组合是一个强大的功能，在一个丰富的手势文化中的相对大量的儿童的交际发展，手势-单词和两个字的组合的数量显着增加，从1;4到1;8。在1;4时产生的手势和手势-单词组合的数量也预测了在1，8时的总发声量。研究结果进行了讨论的姿态作为一个过渡设备的路线上的两个字的讲话的作用。
This study explores the communicative use of the gestural and vocal modalities by normally developing Italian children during the transition from one- to two-word speech. We analysed the spontaneous production of 12 children at 1;4 and at 1;8, focusing on the use of two-element combinations of words and/or gestures. Results indicated that use of gesture and gesture-word combinations during the transition to two-word speech is a robust feature of communicative development across a relatively large number of children in a rich gestural culture, and that the number of gesture-word and two-word combinations increased significantly from 1;4 to 1;8. Number of gestures and gesture-word combinations produced at 1;4 was also predictive of total vocal production at 1,8. Findings are discussed in terms of the role of gesture as a transitional device en route to two-word speech.
