在1954- 1955年期间,我和妻子在新英格兰的一个半农村化的村庄从事一项关于养育孩子的研究。[1]在研究过程中,我有机会用听力记录仪的磁盘或磁带记录了两次或两次以上的访谈,我们样本中的24个孩子都有。以前,孩子们讲话中的某些不一致引起了我的注意,特别是现在分词结尾的-in和-ing之间的变化。[2]因此,在转录光盘和磁带时,我决定注意这两种变体的选择,本文旨在总结和讨论这一信息。开始时,除了3个孩子之外,所有的24个孩子都至少在某种程度上使用了这两种形式。这三个例外只使用了-ing形式,因为他们比大多数其他孩子不那么健谈,所以有可能他们的语言样本更大,也会发现其他变体的使用。这可以被视为当地言语社区内以及我们样本社区大多数个体成员的言语内两种语言形式的所谓自由变异的案例。一般来说,一个或另一个变体的选择不会影响该词对行为、状态或事件的外延。
During the year 1954-55 my wife and I were engaged in a study of child-rearing in a semi-rural New England village. 1 In the course of the study I had occasion to record two or more interviews on Audograph discs or tapes, with each of the 24 children of our sample. Previously certain inconsistencies in the children's speech had attracted my attention, especially the variation between-in and-ing for the present participle ending. 2 Accordingly, in transcribing the discs and tapes, I decided to note the choice of these two variants, and this paper is intended to summarize and discuss this information.To begin with, all of the 24 children, except three, used both forms to some extent at least. The three exceptions used only the-ing form, and since they were less loquacious than most of the other children, it is possible that a larger sample of their speech would have revealed the use of the other variant as well. This may then be regarded as a case of so-called free variation of two linguistic forms within a local speech community, and within the speech of most individual members of our sample community. In general, the choi~ of one or the other of the variants would not affect the denotation of acts, states, or events by the word.
