本研究考察了在分词任务中语言线索的发现。而以前的研究都集中在敏感性个别线索，这项研究解决了如何个别线索可能被用来发现额外的，相关的线索。24名9个月大的婴儿熟悉语音流，其中音节水平的过渡概率和重叠的新线索作为单词边界的线索。婴儿在测试中的行为表明，他们能够发现新的线索。其他实验表明，婴儿对特定的测试项目没有预先存在的偏好，并且过渡概率信息是获得新线索所必需的。结果表明，学习者可以发现相关的语言结构中的自然语言的多重重叠的属性。
The present work examined the discovery of linguistic cues during a word segmentation task. Whereas previous studies have focused on sensitivity to individual cues, this study addresses how individual cues may be used to discover additional, correlated cues. Twenty‐four 9‐month‐old infants were familiarized with a speech stream in which syllable‐level transitional probabilities and an overlapping novel cue served as cues to word boundaries. Infants’ behavior at test indicated that they were able to discover the novel cue. Additional experiments showed that infants did not have a preexisting preference for specific test items and that transitional probability information was necessary to acquire the novel cue. Results suggest one way learners can discover relevant linguistic structure amid the multiple overlapping properties of natural language.
