从21名年龄在16 - 40个月的儿童中采集了语音样本，这些样本涵盖了较广的平均话语长度范围。对语言和非语言强制语境中14种语法语素的有无进行了评分。使用两种不同的标准确定了语素的习得顺序。所获得的等级排序与先前对三名进行纵向研究的儿童所确定的习得顺序高度相关。就正确使用哪些语素而言，年龄并没有增加平均话语长度对语法发展的预测能力。针对这14种语素大致不变的习得顺序，从该顺序的三种可能决定因素方面进行了讨论。父母话语中的使用频率与习得顺序没有相关性，但语法和语义复杂性都与习得顺序高度相关。
Speech samples were taken from 21 children aged 16-40 months covering a wide range of mean utterance length. Presence or absence of 14 grammatical morphemes in linguistic and nonlinguistic obligatory contexts was scored. Order of acquisition of the morphemes was determined using two different criteria. The rank-orderings obtained correlated very highly with a previously determined order of acquisition for three children studied longitudinally. Age did not add to the predictiveness of mean length of utterance alone for grammatical development in terms of which morphemes were correctly used. The approximately invariant order of acquisition for the fourteen morphemes is discussed in terms of three possible determinants of this order. Frequency of use in parental speech showed no correlation with order of acquisition, but grammatical and semantic complexity both correlated highly with acquisition order.
