目的。研究互动如何促进双语儿童的语音习得,以确定双语语音库的典型发展的构成因素。方法。包括 24 名年龄在 3 至 4 岁的儿童:八名讲西班牙语-英语双语的儿童、八名只讲西班牙语的儿童和八名只讲英语的儿童。获得单个单词样本以得出语音清单。继丁森、钦、埃尔伯特和鲍威尔负责英语,卡塔诺、巴洛和莫伊纳负责西班牙语之后,孩子们的清单被分配到五个复杂程度之一。比较双语者内部以及单语者和双语者之间水平的相似性和差异。检查清单以寻找语音转移形式相互作用的证据。结果。双语者的语音库的复杂程度与单语者相当。双语儿童获得两份清单的时间与单语儿童获得一份清单的时间相同,且复杂程度相同。有证据表明英语从英语转移到西班牙语,反之亦然。影响。这些发现有助于区分语言差异和障碍,并有助于避免对言语声音障碍的诊断不足。尽管双语儿童保持语音结构的分离,但两种语言之间的互动程度较低。
Purpose. To examine how interaction contributes to phonological acquisition in bilingual children in order to determine what constitutes typical development of bilingual speech sound inventories. Method. Twenty-four children, ages 3-4, were included: eight bilingual Spanish-English-speaking children, eight monolingual Spanish speakers, and eight monolingual English speakers. Single word samples were obtained to derive phonetic inventories. After Dinnsen, Chin, Elbert and Powell for English and Catano, Barlow, and Moyna for Spanish, the children's inventories were assigned to one of five levels of complexity. Levels were compared for similarities and differences within bilinguals and between monolinguals and bilinguals. Inventories were examined for evidence of interaction in the form of phonological transfer. Results. Bilinguals had phonetic inventories that were commensurate in complexity with monolinguals. Bilingual children acquire two inventories in the same amount of time that monolinguals acquire one, and with the same level of complexity. Evidence of transfer occurred from English to Spanish and vice versa. Implications. These findings are useful for the differentiation of language difference from disorder and aid in avoiding underdiagnosis of speech sound disorders. Although bilingual children maintain separation of phonological structures, a low level of interaction between their two languages exists.
