现有的研究已经观察到婴儿的指指手势和语言结果之间有很强的关系。相比之下，婴儿的整体发声能力与语言能力无关。对于手势和语言之间的联系，一种可能的解释是，与发声相比，手势可以从社会伙伴那里得到更多的语言反应，这有助于语言学习。为了验证这一点，我们观察了47名1岁的婴儿；在与母亲和父亲分别自由玩耍期间，比较父母对婴儿指向手势和对象定向发声的口头反应。结果表明，与对象导向的发声相比，婴儿的指向引起了父母更多的语言反应，特别是对象标签。此外，母亲比父亲更有可能给孩子贴上标签。这些结果可能有助于解释为什么指向与语言习得的指标有关，而发声的产生与之无关。
Existing studies have observed a robust relationship between infants' pointing gestures and language outcomes. By contrast, infants' overall vocal production is not related to language outcomes. One possible explanation for the association between pointing and language is that pointing gestures, as compared to vocalizations, may elicit more verbal responses from social partners that are facilitative for language learning. To test this, we observed forty-seven infants aged 1;0 during free play with their mothers and fathers separately to compare parents' verbal responses to infants' pointing gestures and object-directed vocalizations. Results showed that, compared to object-directed vocalizations, infants' pointing elicited more verbal responses from parents, particularly object labels. Moreover, mothers were more likely than fathers to provide labels. These results may help explain why pointing is associated with indices of language acquisition, but the production of vocalizations is not.
