世界上的语言都有一套共同的动词系统事件成分。然而，这些组成部分在不同语言中的分布不同。儿童开始使用语言特定模式来缩小可能的动词含义是在什么年龄？研究人员向讲英语、日语和西班牙语的成年人、幼儿和学龄前儿童播放了一段动画星星表演的视频，视频中，一位动画明星沿着一条新的道路以一种新的方式表演，并配以一个与语言相适应的无意义动词。然后，他们被要求将这个动词扩展到与训练中相同的方式或相同的路径。在所有语言中，幼儿（2岁和2岁半）都表现出将动词解释为路径动词的显著偏好。在学龄前（3岁和5岁）和成年期，参与者表现出特定语言的动词连接模式。这些发现说明了动词连词如何反映输入语言的特性。
The world’s languages draw on a common set of event components for their verb systems. Yet, these components are differentially distributed across languages. At what age do children begin to use language specific patterns to narrow possible verb meanings? English, Japanese, and Spanish-speaking adults, toddlers, and preschoolers were shown videos of an animated star performing a novel manner along a novel path paired with a language appropriate nonsense verb. They were then asked to extend that verb to either the same manner or the same path as in training. Across languages, toddlers (2- and 2 ½-year-olds) revealed a significant preference for interpreting the verb as a path verb. In preschool (3- and 5-year-olds) and adulthood, participants displayed language specific patterns of verb construal. These findings illuminate the way in which verb construal comes to reflect properties of the input language.
