本文报道了两个新颖的词汇学习实验，考察了儿童使用主体生命力将新颖的形容词归类为坚韧形容词（例如，容易，困难）或控制形容词（害怕，渴望）。在实验1中，一组4- 7岁的儿童观看了具有故事背景的视频，其对话包含新颖的形容词。在实验的两个条件下，新颖的形容词被用于有生命或无生命的主题。孩子们把那些与无生命的主体一起使用的形容词归类为坚韧形容词。实验2提出了3岁和4岁的儿童与视频对话缺乏故事背景，但包含，根据条件，有生命或无生命的主题。结果表明，3岁的儿童可以归类为坚韧的形容词，当他们遇到一个无生命的主题，但年龄较大的儿童（4岁及以上）也需要语义情境线索，在这些谓词的分类。
This article reports on two novel word-learning experiments examining children’s use of subject animacy to categorize novel adjectives as either tough adjectives (e.g., easy, hard) or control adjectives (afraid, eager). In Experiment 1, a group of 4- to 7-year-olds watched videos with story contexts whose dialogues contained novel adjectives. Across two conditions of the experiment novel adjectives were used with either animate or inanimate subjects. Children categorized those adjectives used with inanimate subjects as tough adjectives. Experiment 2 presented 3- and 4-year-olds with video dialogues lacking story contexts but containing, depending on the condition, animate or inanimate subjects. Results show that children as young as 3 can categorize novel adjectives as tough adjectives when they are encountered with an inanimate subject, but older children (age 4 and up) also require semantic situational cues in categorizing these predicates.
