英语动词第三人称/s/的产生似乎超前于理解。主流美国英语(MAE)与非洲裔美国英语(AAE)形成对比,后者很少提供/s/。两项研究探讨了儿童仅从动词末尾的/s/中获得的信息。65 MAE-和65 AAE-讲四到七岁的奥尔兹参加了两个实验图片选择理解研究之一。这两组4奥尔兹的孩子都不能使用/s/来判断事件是动词的一般性而不是过去式(例如cuts/cut),或者它是动词还是名词复合词,就像The penguin dresses/The penguin dress中一样。MAE使用者在五岁之前不会单独使用第三人称的信息,并且在六岁之前不可靠。为了与AAE的制作保持一致,说AAE的孩子在这个年龄段根本不使用/s/中的信息。
The production of third-person /s/ on English verbs seems to be ahead of comprehension. Mainstream American English (MAE) is contrasted with African American English (AAE), in which /s/ is rarely supplied. Two studies explored what information children get solely from /s/ on the end of a verb. Sixty-five MAE- and 65 AAE-speaking four- to seven-year-olds participated in one of two experimental picture-choice comprehension studies. Neither group of four-year-olds could use the /s/ to determine if the event was generic rather than past tense on a verb (e.g. cuts/cut), or whether it was a verb or a noun compound as in The penguin dresses/The penguin dress. MAE-speakers do not use the information in third-person /s/ alone until age five, and not reliably until age six years. In keeping with AAE production, AAE-speaking children do not use the information in /s/ at all in this age range.
