PurposeThis study examined language use and language ability factors that predict phonological whole word proximity in young Spanish-English children.MethodParticipants were 199 Latino children aged 3;0-6;6（years;months）and their mothers.使用双语语音评估来评估儿童在英语和西班牙语中的语音产生。词汇和故事复述能力进行了评估，使用伍德科克-穆尼奥斯语言调查修订版，并通过家长调查收集有关儿童接触和使用英语和西班牙语的信息。分层回归分析被用来确定在家庭中接触和使用每种语言的程度，口语能力和语音熟练程度，以全词接近度（PWP;结果：英语和西班牙语PWP得分的大部分方差（（R2分别= 0.66和0.51）是由儿童与母亲交流时使用的语言、儿童的词汇成绩和儿童另一种语言的PWP成绩预测的。结论语言使用、词汇和语音另一种语言的全词接近度是预测双语儿童英语和西班牙语全词接近度的重要因素。儿童在一种语言中的语音能力对另一种语言中的相同能力具有高度的预测性，这表明跨语言的潜在语音技能共享。
PurposeThis study examined language use and language ability factors that predict phonological whole-word proximity in young Spanish-English–speaking children.MethodParticipants were 199 Latino children aged 3;0–6;6 (years;months) and their mothers. Children's speech sound production in English and Spanish was assessed using the Bilingual Phonological Assessment . Vocabulary and story retell abilities were assessed using the Woodcock-Muñoz Language Survey–Revised , and information regarding the children's exposure to and use of English and Spanish was collected by means of a parent survey. Hierarchical regression analyses were used to determine the degree to which exposure to and use of each language in the home, oral language abilities, and phonological proficiency as measured by the proportion of whole-word proximity (PWP; ) in the other language were able to predict the PWP scores in English and Spanish.ResultsA large portion of the variance in English and Spanish PWP scores (R2= .66 and .51, respectively) was predicted by the language children use when communicating with their mothers, children's vocabulary scores, and children's PWP scores in the other language.ConclusionLanguage use, vocabulary, and phonological whole-word proximity in the other language are significant factors in predicting bilingual children's whole-word proximity in English and Spanish. Children's phonological abilities in one language are highly predictive of those same abilities in the other, suggesting underlying shared phonological skills across languages.
