我们探讨了儿童早期掌握美国手语与错误的预测因素。我们假设，语言前手势中特定参数的最常见值将是早期手语中最常见的值，也是手语儿童犯错误时最可能的替代来源。对五名聋哑儿童和五名听力儿童的语言前手势的纵向研究以及对四名聋哑儿童早期体征的纵向研究的数据分析揭示了语言前手势和早期体征之间显着共性的证据。前语言手势和早期符号之间的这种明显的连续性很可能反映了对婴儿的限制。运动限制——在两种主要语言模式中，这种限制似乎一直持续到第一个单词时期。在手语中，就像在言语中一样，最初的手语的产生使用了语言前儿童可以使用的构建块。
We explore the predictors of early mastery versus error in children's acquisition of American Sign Language. We hypothesize that the most frequent values for a particular parameter in prelinguistic gesture will be the most frequent in early signs and the most likely sources of substitution when signing children make errors. Analyses of data from a longitudinal study of the prelinguistic gestures of five Deaf and five hearing children and a longitudinal study of four Deaf children's early signs have revealed evidence of significant commonalities between prelinguistic gesture and early sign. This apparent continuity between prelinguistic gesture and early sign reflects constraints operating on the infant-in all likelihood. motoric constraints-that seem to persist into the first-word period in both major language modalities. In sign, as in speech, the production of first signs uses building blocks that are available to the prelinguistic child.
